Since they recommend another book for beginning C++ programming to be bundled with it I'd say it's probably more advanced than what you're looking for. I'd recommend downloading a free book like How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, C++ version (http://greenteapress.com/thinkcpp/) and then use an online tutorial for 3D stuff, such as Cone3D (http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/index.pl).

I'd recommend against diving straight into a book like that, I'd say its probably more intermediate then beginner.

Try to use online resources as much as you can, I recommend searching for <subject> beginners tutorial, where subject is the thing you'd like to learn about.

You probably need to do things like get hold of a C++ compiler if you havent already.
