Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Despite having written many computer books, I have no formal computer training, save for one Pascal class way, way, way back in high school. So I like to say that I'm not a computer geek, although I can speak their language.

My formal education was in impractical knowledge: English literature, language, and writing; philosophy and religion (with a heavy emphasis on symbolic logic); and, Latin. As you can see, nothing really useful here. I guess what I did figure out is how to learn something new, how to synthesize all the information I come across, and how to communicate what I've learned in a clear and effective manner.

Since college I've worked at a national bookstore chain, at the main library at Georgetown University, and then for DMC Insights, Inc. I started as the head of the Digital Media Technologies department, where my main focus was on developing dynamic Web sites. I've since been promoted to President of the company, but that's not as impressive as it may sound! Most of my time is spent writing (books and articles), teaching (online and in small group settings), and actually using the technologies that I write about and teach.

I do very little C++ programming but wanted a reference in case I got in a jam. This book has served that purpose well and I recommend it as a reference or intro for the beginner.

Great beginner book

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013

This book introduces the basic concepts of object-oriented programming and C++ in a very simple language. If you are learning C++ for the first time or after a long time, this book would certainly help you. However, this book is not intended for intermediate or advanced level of knowledge.

This book helped me a lot.

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2006

I have programed in C for many years. I recently undertook the task of rewriting a modeling program to have a GUI. I adopted the FLTK, a C++ framework, for the GUI portion of the program. To use FLTK, I had to learn about classes, objects, inheritance, virtual function, etc. I started reading Ullman & Signer in Chapter 7, Introducing Objects, and found these topics clearly discussed and explicitly demonstrated. My program is to be run on multiple platforms, and Ullman & Signer discuss development for multiple platforms. I posted a question on the book's forum page and received an answer in about a day.

Previous reviewers have commented negatively on the format of the book and that it does not give an exhaustive treatment of C++. I mostly agree with those comments, but the book worked for me.
