Advantages: cartoons, cd, examples Disadvantages: goes of track... (see the review)
People say that you should pursuit your life ambition and I have taken this into account as I am only 13 Ii have plenty of time to think in what I choose to do in the future. I eventually decided that I would like to be a C++ programmer and there's no better time to start learning than as a child so I went and bought this book……C++ for dummies by Stephen Randy Davis.
-*-*- What is C++?? -*-*-
Computers are stupid things they only do specific instructions ... ...long time to master that and so very clever people came up with the idea that they add a bit of human language into the computer language so they are both recognise each other and so came the language of C++
-*-*- What can you do with C++??? -*-*-

All I had to do, was localise the one I needed: "Windows XP for dummies"? Nah I'm not that much of a dummy. "Internet for dummies"? Naah I'm an internet goddess, see? It only took me three years of surfing to discover Ciao * g*. "Photoshop 7 for dummies"? Naaah I'm still too much of a dummy for ...

Although this book caters largely for the begginer, it also is very helpfull for the more advanced, as the way this book is set out, it has icons near each 'explaining', paragraph, to say wether you really need to know this information, or if your only going to really know how to do this ...
