Personal Review: Starting Out with C++: From Control
Structures through Objects (6th Edition) by Tony Gaddis
I used this book to prepare for my "IT Foundations" University course
alongside the official course material and I am glad that I found it. I chose
this edition because it followed my course's logic (from control structures
through objects) the only difference being that in my course lists were
explained before objects while here they are explained afterwards (infact,
one of the things I enjoyed the most in this book is the chapter which
explains how to create a class to manage lists). This book is HUGE and it
might seem overwhelming but it is very well structured and it makes it easy
to use it up to the exact level of detail you need. Or you want: I found
myself more often than not to study some subjects more in deep than my
syllabus required, which in return helped me a lot to truly understand the
basics. In this book there are a lot of good exercises but I had to neglect
them in favour of my own course's ones, which I had no problem to solve
with what I had learned from the book. On the CD there are also 12
additional PDF "appendix" chapters on different complementary subjects
like flowcharting, UML, command line arguments and multi-file programs.
The chapter on namespaces and the introduction to Microsoft Visual C++
Express are real time savers for the newbies who want to use Microsoft's
tool. My only gripe with this book is its cost but I have to admit that as an
investment it paid back.
