5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for Beginners with limited programming background!,
By A Customer
This review is from: C++ For Artists: The Art, Philosophy, And Science Of Object-Oriented Programming (Paperback)
This book is targeted at people with limited programming experience and little-no C/C++ experience. It does a great job of explaining complicated concepts (e.g. pointers) without assuming too much in the way of prior knowledge. It does a great job of integrating humor into what many beginners would consider dry and boring material.It's not really a reference book, although it does have a good index. It's not meant for people seeking object-oriented design tips and techniques. If you fit the target market, this is a great book. My only complaint is that the material about the book at this sight doesn't do it justice.

Yes --- Very Good Book,
By Senajit Raman (India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: C++ For Artists: The Art, Philosophy, And Science Of Object-Oriented Programming (Paperback)
I found this book particularly helpful indeed. Pointer concepts are most difficult but the author's presentation made it easy for me to understand. But, some material in the book might be too advanced for beginners, yet, I have no doubts that this book covers material other books omit or skip completely.
