Title: A great adult learning tool
Review: The thing I like most is not that the book presents an easy way to learn. It's that it is receptive to the fact that different people learn in different ways, and it presents a very hands on way that is applicable as an adult learning model. The best way to learn programming in any language is to do it, and it lets you get your hands dirty without getting overwhelmed.It's not a perfect book (if that exists) but I think it exceeds in what it tries to do. Also,you may have problems with different compilers. This is not uncommon and you may have to do a little research and explore the code to get it to work properly. This isn't really a bad thing. I use Bloodshed's DevC++ and it provided a small extra learning experience in getting some of the programs to run. but if in doubt, use the compiler on the CD.And last but not least, it's not very many books on programming that flow like this one. It's well written and doesn't make me yawn or sleepy.
