Best book I've ever endeavored upon for learning C++. Taught me quite a bit.

The biggest question about "for Dummies" books. When I ask you what you consider yourself to be on an intellectual level, are you going to tell me "Uh Im a dummy."??? No? Then the book probably isn't a very good investment in money. They teach the basics too, sure... But I would go on the Herbert Adventure train right into Professional Coding Ville. "So to Speak"
In addition to this the "for Dummies" book is poorly written especially considering it is aimed at complete beginners.
