    Programming Books With Exercises

    I feel one learns a programming language the best by working with it.

    There are some programming books that use this idea, by including exercises at the end of each chapter. I find that I enjoy this kind of books a lot more, and I get to a productive level much faster than I would if I just read the book and only tried certain parts on the computer.

    I am interested in the names of these books, no matter which language. I am a Software Engineering student and adding a language to my portfolio only makes me a better engineer. Please name here the books you know which contain exercises at the end of chapters or even books consisting only of exercises! I will be checking them all.

    Thanks!

    Re: Programming Books With Exercises

    For learning C++, my favourite is Beginning C++17 by Ivor Horton https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-C...s=books&sr=1-1

    For C++ exercises, I would take a look at Programming: Principles & Practice using C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup (2nd edition) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...api_taft_p1_i1
    All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS. You are ultimately responsible for the effects of your programs and the integrity of the machines they run on.

    Re: Programming Books With Exercises

    Two recommendations:

    For python- I can't recommend Learn Python the Hard Way enough. It's clear, succinct, and has numerous exercises. It's definitely not an in-depth book, but to teach yourself the basics, with lots of exercises, for free, it's the best way I found. http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/

    for C- while the author of the above has a book for c, i prefer jumping into C++. I am currently making my way through it and am quite satisfied.
    You are welcome,

    For Java:

    You can start with "Core Java for the Impatient" https://www.amazon.com/Core-Java-Imp.../dp/0321996321

    But, I would say, until you read the "Effective Java" https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Jav.../dp/0134685997 you do not understand the language
