5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners!!, 6 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This is an excellent book for beginners. He explains the concepts in a very easy manner. The best part about this book is that he assumes absolutely no prior programming knowledge in any language, including C. I would highly recommend this book to anybody wanting to enter the world of Object oriented programming.

3.0 out of 5 stars Errors Abound, 5 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Waite Group's Object-Oriented Programming in C++ (Paperback)

I definitely like Robert LaFore's approach, and find the book very comprehensive, I feel that the errors kept me from having a good understanding. There is an error on about every other page in the Third Edition, and I could not find an errata sheet anywhere on the internet. After the first ten chapters, I gave up and returned the book for Jesse Liberty's "Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days". It covers the same material and also has a lot of errors, but he provides an errata sheet on his web site. I so wish Mr. LaFore had done more proof-reading before he sent it to press.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE best C++ book for beginners!, 19 Jun 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Waite Group's Object-Oriented Programming in C++ (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for those starting C++. Robert Lafore's approach is methodical, progressive, consistent, unambiguous and considerate of those who need to drum home the topics discussed in the book. Waite Group's website also provides for download, all code for exercises and examples. Only downside are the numerous typo's, but these don't detract from the value of the book.
