4.0 out of 5 stars Close to perfect C++ learner's guide, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Schaum's Outlines - Programming With C++ (Paperback)

With this book I learnt C++ from scratch. Even now when I can handle C++ quite well and used it to earn a living, I am still using the way the author presented the material in this book to think when I write OO programs. I said it's a "close to perfect" book is, in fact, to express a kinda regret that I need to find some other materials on C++ to tell me more about multiple inheritance. If not taking this into account, I would rate this a 5-star book. From scratch, it shows and walks with you the way from how to write procedural functions, arrays, pointers to classes, from simple private inheritance to polymorphism and from objects to containers. Simply, it's really a great book for beginners.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Programming with C++ (Paperback)

This is an excellent supplement to most of the college level textbooks in C++ programming. Many authors of C++ textbooks are taken up by the apparent need to illustrate complex object oriented concepts (lest Java be seen as the alpha and omega in object oriented languages)with long winded "case studies" or "programming projects" that seem contrived (see any book by Deitel for examples of such.)Some other authors think that their exercises and examples are places to showcase their ingenuity and possession of programming tricks (see Daniel Liang's "Displaying A Pyramid Of Numbers" in Chapter 3 of Introduction to JAVA Programming, Comprehensive Version, 5th Edition, as an example of such.) But what about simple exercises to see if you've mastered the basics of arrays, loops, and simple functions? Let's face it, it will be a couple of years before you'll be asked to work on the code for an ATM machine (Deitel), in the meantime buy this book and focus on the basics.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the person that is stuck in C programming, August 4, 2004

By 

S. Islam "C++ guru" (Canton MI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Programming with C++ (Paperback)

Who referred to this book having mistakes:

They seem to be stuck in the stone ages of C programming.

Since the new ANSI standard came out, (which compilers are still attempting to catch up to), header files have not used a .h extension, C Standard library headers have been renamed and so on.

Every negative point the person makes indicates a complete lack of knowledge, especially accurate knowledge of the C++ standard.

As such that review should be completely and utterly disregarded.

This book is definitely head and shoulders above the crap that people like Herb Schildt have been putting out.

Thanks.
