Note: When speaking about the book, I am referring to the pdf versions.-----Just read the preface, the author states that these books assume prior programming experience with C. He covers conditional expressions (if else, switch, etc.), looping and recursion in the space of 10 pages.  Now for someone who has doesn't have ANY prior programming experience, much more attention needs to be given to those areas. [edited by - yspotua on February 9, 2004 7:28:57 PM]
