DiskTutor by Borland-Osborne/Mcgraw-Hill because of their book text combo and because I'd like to do something interesting with oop in the spring. I was going to start with plain C but C++ seems so much clearer. The problem I have is that the book part of the package assumes that the reader already knows plain C, so it is useless as a beginners text. I'me considering Programming in C++ or the Waite Groups C++ Programming but they both assume the user is coming from C. From: thom@dewey.soe.berkeley.edu (Thom Gillespie) Path: dewey.soe.berkeley.edu!thom Does anyone know of any book which does not assume previous C or Pascal or etc knowledge. I think it will be easier to show them how it 'was' done in C from C++ rather than try to explain objects and classes after plain C -- I may be wrong but I'm going to give it a try. Any suggestions much appreciated. --Thom Gillespie
