Summary: Congratulations!
Review: Carol Schwab, Webster University: I took a good look at your 2nd edition as I revised my class to use it and I think you did a super job. Moving recursion and splitting the chapter on arrays made a great book even better. Congratulations!

Summary: Gaddis, Starting Out with C++ 2nd ed.
Review: Could you please tell me when "Starting Out with Java" by Tony Gaddis will be available for purchase? I am a Sophomore at Augusta State University, and my school's first programming class uses "Starting out with C++." I am transferring to UGA and their first class teaches JAVA. So I have to teach it to myself. I love your C++ book -- it makes everything so easy to understand, and I know that I can't go wrong with the JAVA text. Any information you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot. Christopher Savage, Augusta State University

Summary: Extraordinary Writer
Review: Gaddis is an extraordinary writer. Gaddis'text is working much better than I expected. The ancillary materials especially the test bank and Power Point presentations add greatly to our ability to do some solid, diverse, and effective teaching. George Harrison, Norfolk State University

Summary: Average book
Review: I don't like the organization of the book. The key elements are not very easy to find as they are not prominent enough. The key elements should have been eyecatching (at least bold). Not worth for the money you spend on it.

Summary: Not a very good textbook
Review: I found this textbook to be very poor, especially for a beginning programming course. It presents concepts in a confusing fashion and presents simple TOO MUCH information sometimes for students to digest. It isn't an accessible text for students starting to learn C++ -- it blurs concepts which are useful and essential with concepts which really aren't necessary. Many of the examples are poor, and the presentations of functions and classes are particularly poor. If you are looking for an accessible and clearly-written Computer Science I textbook, try Rick Mercer's <i>Computing Fundamentals with C++</i>. I highly recommend that book; I do not recommend this one.

Summary: Gaddis, Starting Out with C++ 2nd ed.
Review: I have adopted and am currently teaching from the Gaddis second edition textbook. This is by far the best C++ book that I have taught with. Deedee Herrera, Dodge City Community College, Dodge City, Kansas

Summary: Good Coverage of C++
Review: I used this book for the first semester of college C++. It is an excellent textbook. Some C++ textbooks have large amounts of text with few examples, making them very hard to read and understand.This book is filled with examples in short sections about specific C++ elements. I have kept it as a reference as information is easy to find and the examples make it easy to understand and implement. I have two other books on C++, but if I was teaching a C++ class, I would use this book.
