- I have been taking a class in C++. using the text
- "Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++". by Friedman and
- Kauffman. Addison Wesley Publishing.
-
- I cant recommend this text because of its awkward structure. But I
- have been reading the "C++ Primer Plus, 2nd Edition" as previously
- mentioned. It is an excellent book for previous C and non-C
- programmers. Well worth the money.
