Hi There!
After seeing client reviews on Amazon,I want to ask for the last time here: "Does it worth to be bought?"
Maybe someone has heard about this ebook or learned from it.
It has a personal website about the ebook.

if you want to learn c++ just start working by yourself and with information from the internet
books are usually pretty useless depending on what type of learner you are (I can't learn shit from reading, only by applying stuff)

Thanks for the advice,the only thing that scares me is that I can mess up everything if I don't follow everything step by step like the books explain.

Go to sites like www.stacksocial.com who offer dev bundles for pay what you want prices from time to time. Similar to humble bundle. They don't run sales all the time, but there are some good finds. I think I paid 7 dollars for a learn to code bundle that included 9 languages and lifetime access to course material.

Right now they are running at front-end web bundle

you won't mess up everything
my best way of learning is by trial and failure, just keep trying till you get it right

there's no "bad" way of doing anything in c++, just some ways that are better than others, just like in any other language; and you will learn to differentiate them with time

there's also sites like stackoverflow where people will help you minutes after posting an issue if you ever run into one
they helped me a lot
