C++ introductory learning books for novice programmers (book list)

This (Book list)

This article describes a list of must-read books for learning C as a programmer, recommending them one by one from entry, systemization, function libraries, pursuit of performance and elegance, and philosophy.

Therefore, this article basically does not mention the learning of C, but just sticks to C.

Getting Started

Choose one of "Accelerated C" and "Essential C" for intensive reading. Selected readings from "A Tour of C".

"Accelerated C" is very suitable for novices, because it has less than 300 pages, which is a breath of fresh air among the generally brick-like introductory books. Easy to read through and less frustrating.

"Essential C" is more suitable for beginners with other programming experience to quickly learn C. The content will be deeper than "Accelerated C".

"A Tour of C", the masterpiece of C creator, is suitable for those who have just finished learning, or those who have finished studying for a long time to quickly review C knowledge.

While reading the book, I also supplemented it with information from these websites for cross-checking——

C Tutorial ：http://www.runoob.com/cplusplus/cpp-tutorial.html############Hello, C ：https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/nihaoCPP#### ########C introductory series blog: https://www.jianshu.com/u/67702c00ea59############For example, I was mainly looking at Accelerated C. I would read the supplementary information on my mobile phone during odd hours such as commuting after work to see if my understanding was different from reading. Sometimes I even realize that the expression of certain concepts in the information is not accurate, and at this moment I find that I really understand it. This cross-checking reading method can make you more confident in your basic understanding when you get started. ######After completing this step, you can start to look at other people's code on GitHub and try to write some code. ###In my case, I learned how to create a new C project under xcode, and then followed these links to write two calculators and a student management system. Then began to move bricks. ###Calculator 1: https://blog.csdn.net/jiejinquanil/article/details/51405381###Calculator 2: https://www.zhihu.com/question/28582706###Student Management System ：https://blog.csdn.net/qcyfred/article/details/53969547######Getting started is the most critical step. You have a preliminary understanding of various basic concepts and successfully write and run code. It feels great. ###The following introduction is about the vast ocean after you successfully get started. Swim slowly, slowly, slowly, and well. Be careful, don't be in a hurry, and don't have the idea of ​​​​learning the following content in one go and then start working. Because that would take a lot of time and the effect is not good. Besides, C is endless to learn, and no one dares to say that it is proficient. Please practice and keep learning at the same time. ######Systematization######After you get started, you should read more systematic books if you have time. ### Specifically, ### choose one of "C Programming Language" (now in its fourth edition) and "C Primer" for intensive reading. ###You can read another book if you have time later. ### (Emphasis on the reminder!!! "C Primer" and "C Primer Plus" are not different versions of the same book, and the authors are also different. [Not recommended] read "C Primer Plus") ###### Function Library######At this point you should have overcome the syntax barrier and start to understand the function library. You can take a look at ### "C Standard Library", "In-depth Understanding of the C Object Model" and Mr. Hou Jie's "STL Source Code Analysis" in order. #########Chasing performance and elegance######You should have a small degree of success in C now. You may be interested in how to write better performance and more elegant C code. You can continue reading. ###《Effective C》and《More Effective C》,《Exceptional C》. #########Philosophy######If you can persist to the last step, you may be going crazy. Madmen like to ask philosophical questions, such as who is C, where does it come from, and where is it going. ###Try to read###"Meditations on C" and "The Design and Evolution of C / C Language Design and Evolution"###. ###In addition, C (C language) is a language that is relatively close to the bottom of the computer among high-level languages. If you learn more about computer structure, storage, and computing principles, you will have a more thorough understanding of the ins and outs of C. You can read "Introduction to Computer Science", "Code Encyclopedia" of software engineering, "Modern Operating System" of operating systems, and programs "In-depth Understanding of Computer Systems" for beginners. ###

I hope everyone can benefit from reading these books.
