I've seen a couple of books mentioned here. I was wondering what the consensus was for books that meet two needs. The first: Your Aunt wants to learn C(++) and as much as you love your family, the thought of having to explain what the book is explaining over and over to her disgusts you. You want to buy her a book that she can learn from, will be interesting enough to keep her going and comprehensive enough to keep her busy for a while. That and it will keep your mother off your back about being nice to your Aunt. What book do you buy her? Second: Your brother-in-law is a newbie programmer that has the basic jist of it but keeps calling to ask about syntax, examples and things. He borrows your books and gets water rings on them from setting Mt Dew cans down on them as he works. You want to buy him that one book that he can keep there at his desk that will keep him away from your books and most importantly, away from the phone calling you. Did I mention your wife and he have been very close all their lives and she doesn't understand why you don't help him more? What book do you buy him? -=-=-=-=- Lee C.
