5.0 out of 5 stars The _best_ book for OOP concepts., January 1, 2002

This review is from: Object Oriented Programming With C++ (Paperback)

There are many texts for OOP, but this one surely outshines the others. The language used is so simple and elegant, that once you start reading this book, it is very difficult to stop. Real life examples make learning very easy.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, who wants to take the first dip into the ocean of Object Oriented Programming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent intro. to OOP concepts and c++ OOP syntax, August 6, 2004

By 

A mathematically-oriented reader (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Object Oriented Programming With C++ (Paperback)

Background: I have done extensive procedural programming in a variety of languages including Fortran (mostly), c, Pascal, BASIC, PL/I, and even COBOL. I needed to learn object oriented programming (OOP) in a short time so I could guide my staff more effectively.
I find Parson's to be an excellent book to introduce object oriented programming (OOP) in C++. The book is very well organized. Each chapter is divided in two sections, first the OOP concepts are covered, then the C++ syntax to achieve the concepts is presented. In this way, the OOP concepts are not tied to a particular language. The language is "secondary" to the OOP concepts. Also, in this way, the strengths and limitations of C++ are clearly described. I recommend this book to any programer doing the transition from procedural to OOP.
