| Data Abstraction & Problem Solving with C++ (5th Edition) by Addison Wesley Beginners take note... | This book is not for beginners, and I'm a beginner. Sigh...
This book was chosen by my instructor for our required c++ course. Needless to say, everybody in my class without c++ experience is severely struggling in this class. Those that have had a real Intro to c++ are doing ok.
I don't think it's fair for me to pan a book because I don't have the capacity(yet) to comprehend it's finer points. My frustration level would give this a 1 star rating. Instead, I gave this book 4 stars because:
1) The writer (maddeningly) leaves the best code, the stuff I REALLY want to see, as, (I quote)"The resolution of this particular difficulty is left to you as an exercise." ARGH! Not once, but over and over again, you will read statements like this.
2) There are no answers for any of the coding exercises. None.
How much educating does this do?
If you (like me) had to get this book because your professor decided on this as a good "Intro to c++" book. Help yourself out and buy "C++ Primer Plus" by Stephen Prata as a supplement. That book will give you the foundation that this book will build on.
