2.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect to do great on the AP, March 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Guide to Programming in C++ (Paperback)

The only reason I didn't get a 2 or less on the AP Computer Science A exam was because I knew something before using this book in my class. It leaves a whole lot to be desired. Nothing is covered in depth, and the excercises are redundant and extremely long. I would hope that there is a better textbook out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Good For Older Versions., July 18, 2008

This review is from: A Guide to Programming in C++ (Hardcover)

Let me first say that this 5 I am giving is not for its usefulness now but its usefulness with Visual C++ 6.0.

I bought this book to continue learning from this book. The exercises are unbelievably awesome and thought provoking, however I found myself after chapter 7 needing to switch to a much more "modern" book.

But for the first 6 chapters, this book provided me with perfect knowledge of C++. (That I was also able to successfully convert to today's C++) If only this company made the modern day C++ version of this book, then this book would be flawless in learning about C++.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST programming books ever!, November 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Guide to Programming in C++ (Hardcover)

Let's make one thing clear: this book is hard. It's not a short book either, it will take quite a bit of time to finish, but it's well worth it!! I had this book for a high school computer course, and while I only got half-way through it, I learned so much in those first few chapters than I ever did in any other book. If you're looking to really learn C++, and do the best you can do, then I would recommend this book 100%!!
