About the book

Foreword

Guide to Readers
This is a wikibook (en.wikibooks.org), as such you should learn a bit about what it is and how it does its magic.

The book is organized into different parts, but as this is a work that is always evolving, things may be missing or just not where they should be, you are free to become a writer and contribute to fix things up...

If you are already familiar with programming in other languages you can skip most of the Getting Started Chapter (it deals with basic and general programming concepts). You should not skip the Programming Paradigms introduction, since C++ does have some particulars on that topic that should be useful even if you already know an OOP language. The Language Comparisons Section, providing comparisons for the language(s) you already know, is important for veterans. However if this is your first contact with programming then continue on reading, and take in consideration that the Programming Paradigms section can be hard to digest if you lack some bases, don't despair, the relevant points will be extended when other concepts are introduced, that section is provided to give you a mental framework to help you not only to understand C++, but to let you easily adapt to (and from) other languages that share those concepts.
