Not a step-by-step but an outline book-horrible!

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2004

Verified Purchase

I agree with the critics--this is not a step by step book but an outline of issues. About a couple of pages per issue. As such, it's useful for an overview, but the title is misdescriptive.

This is why it gets one star.

The book tries to do too much: chapters 1-5 "Decision and Loop Statements" !!! Are you kidding me? Spend the first 83 pages on stuff that programmers should already know?

Chapters 6-8: "Inheritance", etc. Ditto.

Chap 9-12: Value types, Operator Overloading, Arrays and Collections. Stop! you're kidding.

Chap 13--Properties (OOP style programming) -- p. 233 - this is where the book should start.

Chap 14 - Delegates and Events--useful

Chap 15+ Using the .NET framework, etc. Rest of book is good AS AN OUTLINE. A few pages or less are devoted to each topic. Don't expect to learn from this book, just use it to jog your memory and to note your progress as you learn these topics from other sources in the future.

Rushed, mangled, and a waste of money

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2008

Verified Purchase

This book is a bunch of rushed ideas and statements( no thought), and the
whole book is in rushed jibber-jabber. They keep indicating that you will
learn this later, and that. Later comes and you never learn it. It is quite amazing to me how they could have fill the many pages (600+) of the book with filibuster garggle. Do not buy this book. You won't be able to pace yourself and follow along (it's a disorganized mess), and you will not learn anything, and will waste your money. Whoever wrote this book should go to jail for content faud. End of story.

Disappointed; mostly a rehash of C++ basics

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2003

Verified Purchase

The first 12 chapters, over 200 pages, discuss the C++ language without a much about C++ .NET. I guess my expectations were too high. This is one rare time that I didn't look at the TOC prior to purchasing a book--lesson learned. Overall, the book is OK, just a little too basic for anybody with a few months VC++ experience. After two days I am almost finished with the book and don't feel much more enlightened about .NET than before I started studying.

A Book to Learn What's New about C++ .NET

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2005

Much of this book is wasted on me because I am already experienced in MS C++ MFC programming. I bought it because I wanted to see how it and C++ .NET differed. I do think it was worth it overall for this purpose. I took an interest in the C++ portion because I saw the previously posted reviews and noticed that some reviewers were disappointed with it because they thought it inadequate to learn C++. Skimming those chapters I skipped, I would say too that it would have been inadequate for me to have learned C++, but to do justice to this book no one book was sufficient for me to learn C++ either. For example, much of the power of using C++ as an OOP language lies in abstract classes and virtual functions. Instead of building the narrative towards these features, this book mentions their existence almost in passing. Without these features, there's not much to recommend C++ as an OOP language of choice. The beginner who wishes to learn full C++ and not a particular flavor will need other books. Some books were better at explaining object-oriented concepts; some were better at explaining how C++ features related to OOP. Over time I bought about 16 books on C++ and OOP (object oriented programming). In particular, I think two of Herbert Schildt's books, Teach Yourself C++ and C++, the Complete Reference were good. You might think of getting a generalized OOP concepts book such as by Booch. Later, I found the C++ FAQ book by Cline and Lomow useful. Unlike when I learned other languages, learning C++ and OOP required many small epiphanies. Most important you just have to try small programs that implement the ideas in the books to "get it". Once you do, learning something like Java seems almost trivial. Make no mistake, learning OOP and C++ is a tough row to hoe.

Of course, no one goes through all that effort to write command line programs. You'll want window control, graphics, multi-threading, database access, etc. -- all implementation specific activities. This is where this book is relevant. It provides a brief overview of how a C++ programmer can interact and use Windows OS functionality.
