Excellent

Probably one of the best available book for Turbo C/C++. The book is good due to three reasons- One, you can start from scratch and you can understand and use a difficult language like C easily. Two, it provides complete to the point as well as easy/with example reference for the C language. Three, it has an excellent reference for turbo C 2.0. Overall, as far as Turbo C is concerened, this is a single book that fulfills most of the requirements. The teaching style of the author is excellent and the reference material is to the point with examples wherever required.

great !

I leaned C and C++ from this book and now teach from it with no complaint to date (didn't teach the guy that wrote the previous review - I'm from IL :). Anyway, I found the book simply great - all the information I needed packed in VERY simple, to the point examples (not like other books that have you reading 3 page examples just to show what cin does...)+ It still serves me as a very complete refference to both languages. I would be happy to recomend anyone using or planning to learn\use C\C++ (Turbo or otherwise) to buy this book

In depth, LOTS of information, better than Borland manual!

Within two hours of buying the book, all I had done was skip around in it. I hadn't read anything sequentially, and I was already learning new functions for Turbo C++. In fact, he included features of Turbo C++ that weren't even in the Borland manual or help screen. After even jumping around in the book, I was realizing the compiler that I bought had far more power than I realized, and not because Borland explained it, but because Schildt did. He packed a lot of information in this book. The price is up there, but to me it was completely worth it. Lots of information! If you are stuck in Turbo C++ 3.0/3.1, get this book. It is the best reference I've ever read for any programming language
