Object-Oriented Programming Using C++ (2nd Edition)

Summary: Doesn't Stack Up
Review: This text is definately not for new programmers, but even seasoned programmers will be lost in space. The author takes a very simple approach to some topics, and then quickly goes into examples that do not make sense and have no meaningful explanation (if any explanation at all). I have read texts on Object Oriented programming and C++, and this one fails to unite the two in any meaningful way. There is a healthy sampling of exercises at the end of each chapter, but I could not find the solutions anywhere online. I emailed the author and asked where I could get the solutions, and he graciously replied. Unfortunately, he sent only a short message that said there were no solutions. Did he mean the exercises are unsolvable or that the published solutions are not available? This response sums up the content of this book. I suggest looking elsewhere.
