Introduction to Computer Science Using C++, 2nd Edition

Rating:
Summary: Good learning
Review: Both as a reference and an introduction to various subjects, this book has served well as out C++ class's primary textbook. It has projects at the end that you have to learn from even if you couldn't quite get the rest of it. Excellent stuff.

Summary: This is a great book.
Review: Introduction to Computer Science Using C++ is a great textbook. I am currently a Junior at Fairfield High School and this is my textbook for my Computer Science II class. We're preparing to take the AP test and this text has done an astounding job. While books such as Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days Third Edition may be a better choice, this is still a great source for learning C++. It covers a wide range of topics, from file I/O to matrices, vectors, and more. If you're looking for a book that's easy to understand, this book is definitely a great buy for you.

Summary: Not adequate for AP Computer Science
Review: We use this book in our AP Computer Science class, and although it is easy to read, it lacks a lot of detail. I do not recommend this book to anyone studying for the AP Computer Science AB exam.
