Overview
C++ Primer Plus, Sixth Edition
New C++11 Coverage
C++ Primer Plus is a carefully crafted,
complete tutorial on one of the most significant and widely used
programming languages today. An accessible and easy-to-use
self-study guide, this book is appropriate for both serious
students of programming as well as developers already proficient in
other languages.
The sixth edition of C++ Primer Plus has been updated and
expanded to cover the latest developments in C++, including a
detailed look at the new C++11 standard.
Author and educator Stephen Prata has created an introduction to
C++ that is instructive, clear, and insightful. Fundamental
programming concepts are explained along with details of the C++
language. Many short, practical examples illustrate just one or two
concepts at a time, encouraging readers to master new topics by
immediately putting them to use.
Review questions and programming exercises at the end of each
chapter help readers zero in on the most critical information and
digest the most difficult concepts.
In C++ Primer Plus, you’ll find depth, breadth, and a
variety of teaching techniques and tools to enhance your
learning:
A new detailed chapter on the changes and additional capabilities introduced in the C++11 standard
Complete, integrated discussion of both basic C language and additional C++ features
Clear guidance about when and why to use a feature
Hands-on learning with concise and simple examples that develop your understanding a concept or two at a time
Hundreds of practical sample programs
Review questions and programming exercises at the end of each chapter to test your understanding
Coverage of generic C++ gives you the greatest possible flexibility
Teaches the ISO standard, including discussions of templates, the Standard Template Library, the string class, exceptions, RTTI, and namespaces

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
