As a full-time computer programmer, I have reviewed nearly every book out there on the basics of C++ and Object-Oriented Programming. Far and away, this book is the single volume you should purchase when you are starting out. This book has a lot going for it. First of all, you can't beat the price. This one is really a bargain! When you buy it you'll want to get started right away. Be sure to check out the portion of the Introduction called "How to Use This Book." Based upon what you want to do, this section outlines which lessons to focus on and how to proceed.

The writing lives up to Mr.'s Cay S. Horstmann, John A. Roberson, Clayton T. Crowe of a "good-humored, plain-English, beginner-friendly style." The format of 24 one-hour lessons is easy to live with and increases retention of each topic. They includes great introductions to C++.

This book is rich with examples, and each lesson includes a summary (very useful for reference later on), Q&A, a quiz, and activities. The quiz and activities are aimed at adults, so you won't feel like you just bought a college textbook. Give them a try. You'll quickly see how much you've learned from the quiz and the activities will build both your skills and confidence.

My colleagues ask for book recommendations from me every day. Many times I have to tell them that the book they heard was so great is only good if you need a doorstop. I highly recommend this one to all my colleagues. --This text refers to the Paperback edition

Lot of fluid problems, good graphics, and very good examples, though not nearly enough. You're going to need good lecture notes or a tutor.

This text is a great introduction to Fluid Mechanics. The derivations are very easy to follow, and the problems apply to many real life situations. For graduate students, it may be a little to light weight, but for undergrads it provides a broad base of information.

Good textbook, good examples, and easy to read. Anyone with a solid physics & calculus background will be comfortable with this book.

The author knows a lot about the accounting principles mentioned in the book, but he has forgotton that he is writing a textbook, not a novel. He has written too much and has failed to make good use of diagrams or tables to illustrate some concepts which are too difficult to grasp when expressed only in words.

This book is a learning book for accounting principles but it isn't for the novice student. This book looks at the settings for reports that all accountants need to learn and looks at them closely. In going through this book you see the various items that need to be reported in financial statements, how certain calculations are made in the accounting principles and provides a good base for any accounting student.

This is he quintisential goto book for all you accounting needs. Quite well written and an excellent refernce.
