I have both the multimedia cyber classroom and the 1150 page textbook "C++ how to program" by the same authors. For a training Cd-rom it is better than average for the beginner and excellent for the experienced programmer. Both the textbook and the cd-rom in reality are best for people who have experience in programming. I found the Cd-rom to be slightly easier to learn from because, it is interactive. But since I am a newbie programmer i still found both the Cd-rom and the text very hard! I have a 3.2 gpa and i am a junior with a double major in psych/psychobio. in college. And i found the cd-rom and the book hard! The best aspect of both the book and the CD-rom was that both are very well structured and and extremely information dense. To get thru all of that info will take at least 4 months (4 for the cd rom and 4 for the book!) In summary the Cd and the book are extremely similar in content with very minor differences and both are best for the experienced programmer. But the good side is that if one reads the text and Cd-rom slowly and thoroughly You will be a C++ wizard.

I bought this (prior to discovering amazon) but regret it. It is basically the same text as the book, but with a poor interface. All code examples & notes are a separate window you have to open while you read them. An html implimemtation would have been much easier to navigate and view. No stars for this one. I think I just threw it away.

This is a good book for Begginers, I think if you are a begginer programmer this book will help you very much.
