- Many of you have asked about books to learn C or C++. The book
- "Turbo C++ Programming in 12 Easy Lessons" by Greg Perry is written for
- the beginner, easy to read, and comes with the Borland TC++ compiler.
- This book is great for the young (14 yr. old), or anyone that wants a
- good understanding of C++. There is also a similar book for C if that
- is your choice.
- The down side of the book is waht is not covered. The
- debugger/profiler and graphics are not covered. I still rate the book
- as excellent though. There are follow-on books for object oriented
- programming, and Windows programming.
- Allow about 12 hours per lesson, or a total of 144 hours for the
- book. 12 hours per lesson is needed to allow time to write programs,
- which really puts your understanding at a higher level.
- The book is available in many book stores, or from SAMS directly
- for $39 (USA) at 1-800-428-5331.
- I am not connected with the book, SAMS, or Mr. Perry in any way.
- Hope this helps many of you, and good luck to everyone.
