C++ for You++: An Introduction to Programming and Computer Science

Summary: Help Files In Visual Studio are More helpful
Review: This has to be one of the poorest C++ books ever written. The book offers vague examples and often makes obscure points. The "lab" programs that the book asks you to do are insanely difficult. I e-mailed a friend who is a c++ programmer for a very prominent company and he stated that some of the examples he couldn't get and that there are no way that high school students would be able to understand them. I am ashamed that these books were ordered and distributed to students.

Summary: Good book to prepare for Ap Computer Science
Review: This is a pretty good book to prepare for Ap ComputerScience. It thoroughly covers all of the topics included on A and AB Computer Science exam. Most of the schools teach only up to A level, but if you want to save some money and time, purchase this book, study, and take the AB exam. Although pointers seem to confuse most of the beginning programers (and some decide become physiology teachers), its really not that hard. A good book to accompony this one, is Visual C++® 6 For Dummies®. Also, I highly recommend to download a couple of AP exams and practice with them... The only regret of this book is, that as an independently learning student you do not receive complete answers to most of the project assignments used in this book.
