5.0 out of 5 stars the PERFECT beginners book, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual C++ in 12 Easy Lessons/Book and Cd-Rom (Paperback)

this book is excellent for beginners to the world of programming, not just new to C++. it teaches you everything from general concepts of how code works, but it works you up to advanced programs. the layout of the book couldnt be better. it has 12 units (hence the title) divided into sections. the last section in a unit summarizes what you have learned during the unit. anyone that is looking for "the perfect C++ book", this is the one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read and Learn, July 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual C++ in 12 Easy Lessons/Book and Cd-Rom (Paperback)

Out of all the books I have read about C++, this one tops them all. This book proves you do not need to be a "Rocket Scientist" to be a programmer. If you have not programmed in C or C++ before get this book, it will give you a kick start into the world of programming.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best C++ book I have encountered., July 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual C++ in 12 Easy Lessons/Book and Cd-Rom (Paperback)

A very good book for someone beggining Visual C++. The Authors do a good job of keeping your attention and this is the least boring technical book I have ever read. I strongly recommend it for someone wanting to learn Visual C++. I am 14 years old and I read it in three weeks.
