excellent tutorial introduction to programming in C or C++ (depending on the book you have) for beginners. subjects from primitive data types to control structures (for, while, do, switch, etc) are presented in an easy-to understand manner. pointers, arrays, and a limited amount of library functions for handling these are included. reccomend reading through about the first "14 days" worth of material in each book before moving on to something else, as the more difficult subjects are not covered in enough depth. explanations for the necessity and implementation of friend functions, operator overloading, linked lists, new and delete, may be confusing. C++ has excellent examples of the use of multiple inheritance and polymorphism (as an INTRO ONLY). the example code may be deprecated depending on the version of the book. for someone new to programming, i would highly reccomend this series.

note: the C book (because of the language development) can be relevant back to the first edition, the C++ book i have, on the other hand, includes deprecated code examples even in the 4th edition, but does include examples of the "new" (current) C++ standard.
