Enough knowledge to move on to more interesting code, the book starts using real-world, interesting examples. Farther along in the book you are even shown how to do a simple game. However, the bulk of this book is concerned with teaching the fundamental programming concepts of C++.
A few notes about this book’s coding and writing style. To begin with, this book is written in a manner that is easy for beginners to follow. This means that it is not always the most compact code. A lot of C++ programmers write their code in the most compact fashion possible. And that is fine, it’s just difficult for some beginners to follow. So, the code in this book is presented in a manner that is easiest for a beginner to follow. The writing style includes a habit of giving a lot of examples. The thought is that someone learning a new programming language should have a lot of examples to look at.
