Well, it doesn't explicitly say it's for beginners, but it is more or less. It's MUCH MORE noob friendly than those "Programming for Absolute beginners" books. Jump straight into Lafore's book. The OOP is there, but he builds everything from the ground up. Trust me, if you know C++, you'll know C automatically. For beginners, there will hardly be any difference between the two, except some annoyances which will make you wonder if the devs are idiots when they came up with this.
Stuff like "You can only declare variables on the top of the function". When you know your C++ concepts, it'll be hard to differentiate what was C's and what was C++'s. My recommendation: Give Lafore's book a go. It's really good.
