C++ From Scratch by Jesse Liberty
C++ From Scratch: An Object-Oriented Approach is designed to walk novice programmers through the analysis, design and implementation of a functioning object-oriented application using C++. You will learn all the critical programming concepts and techniques associated with the language in the context of creating a functioning application. Best selling C++ author Jesse Liberty shows you how to create "Decryptix", a game of decoding a hidden pattern as quickly as possible, using nothing but successive guesses and the application of logic. Every example and technique is put into the context of achieving a goal and accomplishing an end.
