Will teach conputing concepts..not C++
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is not the book to buy if you wish to learn C++. If Dave in Ohio read the preface, the author clearly states that "the purpose of the book is to teach computing concepts, not C++, which is just a tool toward that end." We are using this book in my Intro to Programming class and it has proved to be both well-written and useful.
Never Judge a book by it's cover
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I am currently in Engineering at the University of Waterloo, and forced to take a C++ course. I was nervous at first, but the cover of this book helped me a little. The cover is kind of cheasy, but the cover holds the best written programming book I have ever read. The ideas are simplified and analogies used wisely. The questions were even good enough for the teacher to give on the assignments! If you are learning C++, or want to refresh then this book is a MUST!
