Yes definitely. They have good organization and mention a lot of topics left out of other books. They also have one for almost all programming languages and concepts (i.e. They have one on security programming with C++, which I'll probably get).
If you need to learn a language like C++ or VB I would recommend any book written by Diane Zak. I self taught myself C++ with her book and thought the book helped me a lot. It was organized and to the point. Bad side: her books are sometimes used as school textbooks and can be expensive.
