- The subject line should say most of it, but here's a
- bit more background, in any case:
-
- I have a good friend who's planning to do some C++
- programming for an applications package intended to run under
- OS/2 2.x PM. He's skilled in C but hasn't really gotten his feet
- wet with C++ yet, and asked me if I knew of any smooth introductions
- by any author which I could recommend.
-
- After a few minutes' thought, I had to confess that I
- couldn't think of a single one - I've probably read eleven or twelve
- C++ books, and disliked every single one. I'd not recommend any of
- the lot for a beginner, not without some trepidation.
-
- Are there any helpful suggestions out there? (No, sorry, I
- don't have time to write one myself; the fuzzy logic textbook comes
- first :-) Emailed responses are fine, but feel free to broadband it
- if you deem the response of sufficient general interest. Thanks!
