Review # 1 was written on 2010-01-04 00:00:00 Jessica Duff I read this book to help form a base level of knowledge for some of the work I'm doing on an IT program. It was useful in introducing programming in several different languages and the commonalities between. Particularly good to have a very introductory view of C++ with BASIC equivalent alongside. But the final couple of chapters were clearly bolted on - the sections on HTML, Javascript, Java etc were rubbish, and clearly written as an update to the older 2001 edition. How can you write about HTML without CSS? So the core bit was good, but ignore the last section

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-18 00:00:00 Rod Mondaca A very interesting guide to a topic many can see as boring. This book is not only full of information and tools but is also entertaining and funny! Also at the end of the day you can use this book as a context guide to different sections within basic programming. I recommend it a lot.
