Lafore is Great

First off I am only 24 years old so I guess you could say I am a beginner. If you need a more expert review, look elsewhere. I have been reading Lafore's texts for about the last 14 years (and programming in C++ about as long). I learned to program in C++ reading his books after having only a couple years experience with GW-BASIC (line numbers suck). I also used his books to get an early start on Windows 3.1 about 10 years...

The *best* C++ text there is.

I teach CSci at a community college in Minnesota. I've used Robert Lafore's texts before in my classes and currently use this text in my C++ class. It is an outstanding book. Robert Lafore explains difficult concepts better than any other programming language author. In particular, his illustrations are *extremely* useful in understanding important C++ concepts. His writing style is easy to understand and the programming...

Great book on C++ for beginner programmers!

An excellent book on C++ for those individuals with little or no programming experience. Easy to understand language, lots of sample code, and plenty of simple diagrams make this a great self-teaching book. Intermediate and advanced programmers would find this book too simplistic.

Ditto! Excellent for the C++ and OO Beginner

To tell you how good this book is for beginners, this was my textbook for a formal intro to C++ class that my company sent me to. The book played a huge part in the class being a success. I felt very confident on my next project that involved C++ and it's still a solid reference.

This is an excellent book for those new to Turbo C++!

This is one of the most understandable books I have ever read. Last year, as a 12 year old student, I read this book, Object-Oriented Programming in C++. With some knowledge of BASIC (not QBasic), I understood this book completely. Although Lafore introduces the book by telling his readers that they must understand programming in BASIC, Pascal, or C, this is not necessary. You only need to understand logic. This book is perfect...
