The Complete C++ Training Course: The Ultimate Cyber Classroom (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: The book is good but the multimedia CD is deplorable
Review: The book is a good start for those interested in learning c++ for the first time, but is by no means a comprehensive coverage of the language. Especially when covering the advanced topics such as multiple inheritance, templates, and exceptions it falls a bit short of what you really need to know. Also, the multimedia CD's content is ok but the navigation tool is horrendously bad and seems only geared to a sequential coverage of the subject matter. You'd be hard pressed to use it as an occassional reference. The audio presentations on the CD sounds like that Rabbi on the Seinfeld show. The voice is so nasal and monotone it is sure to drive you crazy.
