5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent background in programming, April 5, 2000

R. Harris "R. Harris" (Utah, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: C++ Program Design: An Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Design (Paperback)

Six years ago I was one of Prof. Cohoon's students when he was in the process of writing the first edition of this book. Compared to all of the other C++ books I have seen, this one is a lifesaver. I recommend it to any of my friends who are just learning to program. This book, nor Cohoon's methodology are by any means a definitive C++ reference manual. This book was written for the person who is learning to program by learning C++. I have personally used the skills taught to me by Cohoon and this book to build a strong programming background, and to learn new languages quickly and easily. I tackled Java in a week, Perl in 2 weeks. If you are learning to be a programmer, buy this book now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book for C++ design, December 23, 2003

Kim Lee (South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: C++ Program Design (Paperback)

Would not suggest the book to a C++ novice, I found it very useful being a full time C++ programmer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a C++ book with a balance between coding and design!, September 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: C++ Program Design: An Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Design (Paperback)

It is often forgotten that design is as least as important as the implementation of it. This book tries to convey very high design standards and may not be the easiest around, but it presents a thorough course in what its title announces: C++ program design. It is also very useful as a work of reference.

Avoid adding this book to your collection. I found it lacks a consistent logical structure, is dry and makes relatively easy concepts seem impossibly complex.
