In AppNee's opinion, there is no so-called the best programming (or even human) language, only the most suitable for you, your favorite or the one you can do best. Remember: any language is interlinked, the most important thing is to learn and master one of them, and then slowly find the best one for you. For readers have no programming experience, we recommend you to start with the Head First series, in particular, for software developing beginners, you'd better choose Head First Programming first.

If I tell you the publication date of this book is 1999, and has only one edition, many beginner readers will be dismissive that I can imagine. But please note that, whether you are newbie or expert, Essential C++ is the top grade of classic work all the time. In other words, as long as you want to be proficient in C++, then this Essential C++ written by the C++ master Stanley B.Lippman is required.

Head First Object-Oriented Analysis & Design (short for Head First OOA&D) will tell you how to analyze, design and write a truly object-oriented software, which is easy to reuse, simple to maintain and extensible anytime.
