Summary: An excellent book!
Review: I have used this book as a text for my class. It helped me understand the concepts of Java and C++ better than the other books that I consulted.

Summary: A pedagogical triumph!
Review: This book is virtuallly unique. By presenting object-oriented programming from the twin viewpoints of java and c++, the author gives a 3-dimensional perspective of object-oriented programming.There are three groups of programmers who would benefit from this book. Firstly, those who have mastered an imperative language like C and who are totally new to object oriented programming. Learning both java and c++ by reading one book can save a tremendous amount of time. But two equally important audiences for this book are those programmers who know only c++ or java, and want to learn the other language. If you are either of these camps, this is the book you've been waiting for. It can be read as a "programming cookbook" showing how to do almost every common programming task, from copying files to Gui/Database programming in both java and c++, allowing the reader to leverage expertise in one language when learning the other.

Summary: Superb book on Java and C++
Review: This is a pathbreaking book that teaches Java and C++ as a package. I believe this is an innovation that should be universally adopted. Kak, who is legendary as a inspiring teacher, uses all his skills to abstract the main ideas of the two languages in such a manner that is illuminating. I recommend this book enthusiastically as a text for college courses and as a book for self study.
