3.0 out of 5 stars The book is good but the multimedia CD is deplorable, January 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete C++ Training Course: The Ultimate Cyber Classroom (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

The book is a good start for those interested in learning c++ for the first time, but is by no means a comprehensive coverage of the language. Especially when covering the advanced topics such as multiple inheritance, templates, and exceptions it falls a bit short of what you really need to know. Also, the multimedia CD's content is ok but the navigation tool is horrendously bad and seems only geared to a sequential coverage of the subject matter. You'd be hard pressed to use it as an occassional reference. The audio presentations on the CD sounds like that Rabbi on the Seinfeld show. The voice is so nasal and monotone it is sure to drive you crazy.

1.0 out of 5 stars A ponderous tome by any standard... and weak as it is large., April 1, 2001

By 

Jerry R (Community College -- Eugene OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Complete C++ Training Course, The (3rd Edition) (Computer Training Course) (Hardcover)

Do authors ever read their own material? To see a book published on a programming subject without errors would be a real treat. Punctuation and grammar are poor, sentences run on and on and on ad nauseum.

Don't bother with the CD, it's limited usefulness matches the book. This is no where near a comprehensive coverage of any language let alone the one it's about.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I wouldn't have the book were it not shipped free to our department for evaluation.

3.0 out of 5 stars The book is medicre. The multimedia CD is usseless., January 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete C++ Training Course: The Ultimate Cyber Classroom (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I knew nothing about C++ when I started, and I know a little bit after going through the first three chapters. Even if the book is not bad, but I wish I had bought another. It contains didactical mistakes, like add compications when introducing a new subject. The exercises are not enough to complete understanding of the subject. There are also repeated exercises almost in the same page!

The multimedia CD was a complete disapointing! It doesn't really add anything to the book and it is not interactive at all.

The package comes with a CD, Microsoft Visual C++, but once I installed, I could not find any explanation of how to run it.
