Negative Positive
Title: Great for C Gurus...
Review: The back cover mentions it is a book for people with "programming backgrounds". I thought that meant any programming language, and I figured expertise in Turbo Pascal would count, but what it should say is "C/C++ expertise". If you know diddly about OOP, it doesn't help very much. It as easy to read statements like "you invoke the method call implicitly by instantiating the object with a reference." Mr. Van der Linden is evidently a great programmer, but not a very good teacher. If you know zilch about OOP, C, or C++, pass this one up.
Is the review positive or negative?
