one after another

I have been using books by these authors and Herb Schildt for over 10 years. Not only do I like Osborne books but I like these authors.First, Osborne books are easy to read (not that small type - you know what I mean). Murry and Pappas also give a lot of short programming examples which are very helpful for new programmers.I liked the C++ coverage in the book but also liked the material on STL, MFC, etc. I'm about 1/2 through the book and found that the code works correctly.A good book if you want everyhting from soup to nuts in one book. But don't plan on carrying it too far - it is over 1000 pages.

pointers

My name is Hi and I live in southern California. I work for my uncle doing consulting work. I have programmed in C++ but always had trouble with pointers. This book by Murry and Pappas is a good book. I have now written three programs using pointers and gotten praise from others at the company.I would buy more of there books.

A real complete reference

My father gave me a book by Murray and Pappas about 10 years ago. It was on assembly language programming. He said it saved his job at General Electric. I used it in college and found it to be very helpful.I guess these are the same guys. Anyway, my company wants to convert some old program code to C++. I had a course in C, but didn't know that much about C++ classes and objects. Well, this book will get you up and running pretty fast. They do a really good job on classes, objects and all of the other object oriented stuff. The best part is how they integrate it with Windows code. I was interested to MFC but most of the books I read assume you know C++ when you want to do MFC. Not this book! They picked me up by my bootstrapes and got me into MFC quickly. Some of the topics, like COM+, are a little advanced for me at this time, but I guess that is what a complete reference is all about. Thanks guys! (and if my father were still alive I think he would thank you too).

Just getting Started

I'm really just getting started with the Windows portion of this book. I found the coverage of C++ pretty good - well, maybe excellant would be better.A 1000 pages - man I don't know how those other guys got through the book this fast. One thing I know - the programs I tried worked the first time. Something that most books can't say about their code.

A good grade

This is for the Visual C++.NET book by murry and pappas. I am a colleg studentin Nashville. This is the second C++ course I have taken at the college. I washaving trouble understanding my textbook and my professor told me to buy thismurry and pappas book. This was last semester. I think because of this bookI got a B in my first C++ course. You see, their book has a lot of examplesthat help you get started with how to write programs.I am using it again this semester. We are doing linked-lists. Check it out -this book is great.
