I had a look at the book, and wouldn't recommend it though. For C++ there's far better (better explained, better teaching and examples) even in free online tutorials, and plenty of great books (some also free IIRC), and the book doesn't actually teach anything related to game development - chapters have "for gaming" in their name, but inside there's really nothing about gaming, just subpar C(++) teaching. It also seems barely converted from an old C material, since it doesn't teach the new and useful stuff from C++, sticking to old C usage without explaining why it prefers it to more modern (and usually more efficient) syntax and classes.

Thanks for the share.
