What happens when a little brown boy, born in the crime-ridden Cape Flats of Cape Town, South Africa, grows up and dares to achieve the impossible? How might his life be different from those of his peers as he sets out to achieve one seemingly insurmountable goal after the other?
Believe in the Possible, a stirring and inspirational memoir. It is first-time author Ricardo Collison's real-life story of a young brown boy who believed he was destined for greatness and dared to dream even bigger.
Ricardo shares his life stories and reminisces about how he overcame hardships, how he triumphed over a scarcity mindset, and created a life beyond what those around him could imagine. Determined to help others break free from the limiting beliefs instilled in them since childhood, Ricardo provides us with the necessary resources, toolkit and inspiration by retelling his own incredible story.
This book is for those who believe they are destined for more, who desire a more fulfilling life, and who stand on the brink of manifesting an abundance of health, happiness, and wealth.
All it takes is the ability to believe in the possible.
I'm a 19 year old college student who's been programming since the C64 days. I've mainly focused on other programming languages that I've seen practical application for; Visual Basic, PHP, etc. I had dabbled with C++ now and again, but Visual C++'s MFC style had turned me off time and time again when it comes to building windows applications. If your looking to dive straight away into building windows applications, this book...

I have been a computer programmer for a long time, working on IBM mainframes. I have been wanting to learn C++ and Object Oriented techniques, but have been intimidated by the complexity of them. This book presents in clear, easy to understand language everything I needed to know. The fact that it's entertaining is just a bonus. Do yourself a favor - buy this book and then go get a better job.

Do NOT judge this book by the phrase "for dummies" in the title. Jeff Cogswell created a very comprehensive 800+ page book that runs all the way through C++. If you worked through this book from start to finish (and with his pleasant writing style, you could), you'd have the entire language at your disposal -- not just a beginner's knowledge. Also note that it begins assuming you have no programming experience, yet it does...

I have to say, I was a bit skeptical when I saw this book. (Not another YELLOW book.) But... when I started flipping through it, I was impressed with how much this book covers... Unlike a lot of other C++ books, this book didn't require that you already know another programming language. Yet even though the book starts out at the very beginnings, it pretty much covers the whole gamut: Unified Modeling Language (UML), Design...

I have been struggling with the computer courses in a Computer Science Degree program that is completely online. I have read over 20 C++ programming texts and I wish I had read this one first. Along with the usual frivolities that accompany "for Dummies!" books, Jeff Cogswell is able to explain all those fun little things like polymorphism and UML and object-oriented in ways that no one else has been able to do.I would buy...
