Review:
Complete it is, tutorial it's not. Actually, that's a bit harsh, but I haven't found a good beginning introduction to C yet, and I guess I'll have to keep looking. Horton *does* provide tutorial guidance, but he doesn't start at a low enough level for the non- programmer. He begins, for example, by suggesting the newcomer write a program, and then seems to remember that there will need to be an editor, compiler and linker before we can do that. The material is not beyond any intermediate or advanced computer user, but the organization follows that of any standard programming course, assuming that the reader doesn't need to know any particular reason to learn this or that feature other than the fact that it will be on the final. Tho... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
[I have used a variation on the Fidonet "reply" conventions in this review. "Original" review material starts at the left margin. Comments preceded by "GS>" are those of the book review series editor, Gloria J. Slade. Comments preceded by "LD>" are those of Lyn Dupre, author of "BUGS" in writing. Footnotes (*1 etc.) are found at the end of the review. - rms] Apropos of nothing in particular, it is three years, almost to the day, since I reviewed the first edition of this book. Hopefully, my voice is less passive than it was then. There are any number of style and writer's guides. Whoever wrote the first GS> does "first" refer to the style guide, as opposed to following GS> writer's guides? would likely win a "... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Building VRML Worlds takes you through the process of designing and constructing VRML worlds for the Web. It addresses artistic and pragmatic concerns, helping you create easily navigable, intuitive, and attractive worlds without busting your user's bandwidth. It provides a well-rounded glimpse into today's VRML tools, including Paragraph's Virtual Home Space Builder, Caligari's Pioneer, and Virtus WalkThrough Pro, as well as Java tools such as DimensionX's Liquid Reality and Kinetix's Hyperwire, VR servers such as Tenet Network's VRServer, and 3D packages such as 3D Studio Max and Strata Studio Pro. A discussion of creating server-side and client-side apps helps non-programmers start thinking about writing CGI and Java scripts to enhance a... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Among the teachers I hang out with, "Deitel" is known as *the* C programming text. With good reason. The material is clear and organized, and gives lie to the old belief that C could not be a "first" programming language. A summary, list of new terminology, list of common errors, and a list of good programming practices accompany each chapter. In addition, there are two sets of exercises: one with the answers provided, and one without. The final quarter of the book extends C into C++, with excellent coverage of the concepts underlying object orientation. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
