ISBN: 9781787910379*** C++ Programming in easy steps, 6th edition shows you how to program in the powerful C++ native system language. Now, in its sixth edition, this guide gives complete examples that illustrate each aspect with colorized source code. Updated for the latest GNU C Compiler and Visual Studio 2022. C++ Programming in easy steps, 6th edition begins by explaining how to install a free C++ compiler so you can quickly begin to create your own executable programs by copying the book’s examples. It demonstrates all the C++ language basics before moving on to provide examples of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). C++ is not platform-dependent, so programs can be created on any operating system. Most illustrations in this book depict output on the Windows operating system (purely because it is the most widely-used desktop platform) but the examples can also be created on other platforms such as Linux or macOS. The book concludes by demonstrating how you can use your acquired knowledge to create programs graphically using a modern C++ Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such as Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2022. C++ Programming in easy steps, 6th edition has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to: Anyone who wants to begin programming in C++. Programmers looking to advance from an interpreted programming language, such as Python, who want to harness the superior speed of C++. Students who are studying C++ Programming at school or college. Those seeking a career in computing who need a fundamental understanding of Object Oriented Programming. This book makes no assumption that you have previous knowledge of any programming language, so it is suitable for the beginner to programming in C++, whether you know C or not. Review: Written with beginners in mind - If you are new to C++ programming and want to learn the basics from a book written with an absolute beginner in mind then this is the book for you. There are 10 Chapters, each with 8 topics. Topics are described and demonstrated with source code and expected output. I was impressed that all of the source code compiled without errors - not so common in programming books these days. For the first 9 chapters the compiler used is the cross-platform GCC and user interaction is via a command prompt. There are instructions for installing and using GCC in the first chapter. I found the last chapter to be the most interesting. This describes the creation of a graphical UWP app to generate random Lotto numbers, controlled by a mouse. The chapter introduces the XAML language which is used to define the GUI, and requires Microsoft Visual Studio (you can use the free edition). The only problem that I encountered when following this book occurred in the last chapter: with the latest Visual Studio and Windows 10 updates as of April 2023, Visual Studio would not create a UWP app until I had updated to Windows 11. Once I had updated then everything went smoothly exactly as per the book. I consider this a problem with the tools rather than the book, so no stars deducted. If you don't want to use Windows 11, Visual Studio or XAML and you are only interested in the C++ then this chapter can still be of use - before updating I extracted the C++ code then, using what I had learned in earlier chapters, created a console app to generate random Lotto numbers, controlled from the keyboard. Review: An excellent book for beginners, due to its very specific format and style. - An excellent book for beginners, due to its very specific format and style. The layout is very pleasant : clear and breathing, with colours and highlights, clear and simple style. Instead of lengthy and tedious developments around a piece of listing like many (all ?) other books, each concept is explained and illustrated over a double page, through a piece of code constructed step by step. That proves very efficient and pleasant for easy and quick progress. Of course with 185 pages only you do not have all of C++ , and the format becomes too tight for complex topics, especially for the last lessons which provide more a recipe to reproduce than an understanding for creating by your own. This book needs to be completed by another source going deeper. However I definitely recommend for beginners, as it makes you quickly autonomous over a very wide range of programming, and does give you the desire to broaden your knowledge and understanding of C++. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 109,518 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Compilers Programming 47 in Programming Languages & Tools 78 in Computers for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 75 Reviews | ## Images ![C++ Programming in easy steps, 6th edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BwrSNGBEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ C++ book *by R***S on 13 June 2025* C++ .

Only really covers Command Line Interface (CLI) programming but covers it well. Of no real use if you want to learn Windows programming using Microsoft's implementation of C++ and Visual Studio. ## Frequently Bought Together - C++ Programming in easy steps, 6th edition - C Programming in easy steps: Updated for the GNU Compiler version 6.3.0 - Assembly x64 in easy steps: Modern coding for MASM, SSE & AVX --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/416353764-c-programming-in-easy-steps-6th-edition](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/416353764-c-programming-in-easy-steps-6th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
