 Deliverance September 23, 2009

the book was sent in good condition, but the time it took was soo not worth the penny i paid for the book + the expedited shipping cost, the book came 2 days late from its estimated time.
 Everything but the CD April 2, 2009
Alexander D. Hawkins
The book is exactly what I was looking for and in good condition, but it didn't have the CD that originally came with the book, which was disappointing.
 Bad, bad, bad. Stay away December 31, 2006

This is a shocking example of how not to teach programming - numerous listings of boring code explaining HOW to do things, but no mention of WHY they are the way they are. If you are required to buy this as a textbook for a course, please complain loudly. There are some far better alternatives out there - for example Bruce Eckel's two-volume Thinking in C++ which is also available for free download.

Avoid adding this book to your collection. I found it lacks a consistent logical structure, is dry and makes relatively easy concepts seem impossibly complex.
 A well thought out Book January 16, 2004

I am a self taught programmer. When I first read some of the reviewes I was initially discouraged to buy it. Now that I have bought this book, I have no regrets. It is a well thought out book with plenty of examples to try out. As regards EzWindows, though I haven't yet laid my hands on it but by reading through the texts I do not find it that bad.Some reviewer have complained of declaring variables in the middle of the program! but by hind sight that is not only perfectly valid but I believe it is a good method in coding. Instead of going back thousand of lines to the begining of the prog to find a variable, it is far more easier to locate it where it is declared provided it is well commented there! I like the history bits in the book to be pretty smart. Not a bad book either for the beginner or for the experienced.
