Negative Positive
Title: 3 revisions short of a 1st edition
Review: I bought this book on the recommendation of the early reviewers. Bad choice. I think the reason why one reviewer recommended this book after data structures is because it was so poorly written as a introductory textbook the reviewer was able to fill in the gaps himself.The preface states that no C programming is assumed, so it should be for a beginner. I would submit that this would only be true by re-reading the text several times and parsing the information into more natural categories for better understanding.The information was there, possibly, but why waste your time.C++ Primer Plus is an excellent book, with appropriate humor, carries only about 10% bloat, and more reasonably priced.
Is the review positive or negative?
