Negative Positive
Title: A good book where the author knows how to teach
Review: The author seems to be aware what beginning students in the world of programming get bogged down by and how to take care of it.For ex. the author explains in the appendix the concept of using namespaces and how this can be accounted for in the more recent form of header file inclusion. To give an instance, he clearly says that if we use the recent form which does not include the .h extension for instance in case of the header file - stdio , then it has to be accompanied by the statement: 'using namespace std' (in this case) or we have precede all identifiers defined inside the library with the keyword 'std' followed by :: or else the compiler would give an error.This is because all recent header files are members of a namespace 'std'. This was just an example that shows that the author has made VC++ accessible to people from a non programming background and I appreciate the effort that he has taken.
Is the review positive or negative?
