The Waite Group's Object-Oriented Programming in Turbo C++

Rating:
Summary: Yes !
Review: I rarely give 5 stars to anything. This book is in the top 2 or 3 computer books I've ever read. The author uses a +5 pronged approach to teach. Most books don't even use 3! He explains the general concept very well, then provides relevent small examples, questions (with answers) at the end of chapters, then a magna cum example in a separate chapter, and what's more he uses diagrams very generously.
I agree with the other reviewers - FANTASTIC!
If anyone knows of a better beginner-intermediate C++ book, please send me an e-mail, titled "BETTER C++".

Review: I stumbled onto this book in 8th grade at a local Bookstar bookstore back in 1992. After thumbing through a few pages, I found that I could understand it pretty easily.

It was an amazingly well-written book. As a 14-year old kid I was able to write some pretty fancy object-oriented programs. Later in college, I found myself using Mr. Lafore's book more often than I used my C++ text by Stroustrup.

At some point while moving back and forth between school and home, I lost my copy. But I found that this book is STILL available in what is essentially its 4th edition under the title "Object-Oriented Programming in C++" to this day. Long live this book! It's wonderful!

Review: Robert Lafore's OOP in C++ is an excellent book.I read it from cover to cover.I also did all the examples in the book.I got so used to this book that once I lost it,I could not satisfy my doubts in C++ with any other book.Lafore deeply explains the complexities of this language in a simple easy way.Great for beginners also.Although,I read many other books on this subject,no other book explains things so vividly and clearly as in this.
