Computing Fundamentals With C++: Using, Modifying, and Implementing Object Classes/Book and Disk

Rating:
Summary: Not such a hot C++ textbook. Poor index.
Review: This book just doesn't do the job. It has a poor index, which cripples any textbook. Many facets of C++ are not covered well or not covered at all in the book. The layout and presentation are poor. There are far better C++ books available.

Review: This is a very good text for teaching C++ to a beginning class. It jumps right into C++ and objects, with a strong push towards code reuse. The only complaint about this text is that it is getting a bit dated in its style of C++ and some of the newer advanced concepts(stl, namespaces...) are not covered at all. Also very little C is used or discussed, which is fine for a class where a professor can discuss these issues but for someone on their own they may want to choose another book.
