Book Reviews of An Introduction to Programming With C++, Fifth Edition
Book Review: Bad Instruction for Online Education
Summary: 1 Stars
I am taking an online course through the local community college, and this is their textbook for 2 semesters! I thought this was book was bad my first semester, but it has only gotten worse the second. The author repeats, talks in circles, has trouble making the valid point. When I read I want the point right there, not going around and around. Although the author has provided lots of exercises, she lacks any information on how to complete some of those exercises throughout the chapters. This book might be better if you had in-front-of-you instruction, but this is horrible for an online class or teach yourself. As another reviewer I am an A student, but I struggle in this book to understand the author's concepts. I have bought another book to help understand the C++, now I'll need another for the Visual .Net. It appears our instructor wants the exercises for the .NET done but again this book is extremely limited on providing the information needed to complete the exercises.
Summary of An Introduction to Programming With C++, Fifth Edition
An Introduction to Programming with C++, Fifth Edition is the latest C++ offering from Diane Zak. This book is distinct from other textbooks because of its unique approach, which motivates students by demonstrating why they need to learn the concepts and skills presented. Each chapter contains a Concept Lesson introducing one or more programming concepts and an Application Lesson containing five labs that help students master the content taught in the Concept Lesson. Also new in this edition of the book is a third lesson on .NET in which students learn how to use .NET C++ commands. This edition uses How To boxes to summarize important concepts and provide a quick reference for students. A Key Terms section has been added to the end of each Concept Lesson. The text also includes extensive end-of-chapter material, including Discovery and Debugging Exercises.General Books
