Title: F- -
Review: This was the required text for an introductory C++ class I took last semester where I received an A. I point that out so that nobody will suspect bitterness on my part when I say that this is simply the worst textbook I have ever owned.The main problem with the text is that everything you need to know is buried deep within long rambling blocks of poorly spaced paragraphs, camouflaged amongst unnecessary tidbits. Simple concepts that could be explained in one sentence drag on for pages. As a reference book, it is completely useless, because you will just not be able to find a simple succinct example.So, if you were looking for a book to teach yourself C++ pass this one by, but if you are unfortunate enough to have this as the required text for a class be ready to read and re-read the same chapter again and again and again before you can figure out what the authors are doing their best to obscure from you.
