Prepublication Review: "Once again the Deitel team has produced another academic winner. From start to finish they have the novice programmer in mind. Each Simply VB 2005 tutorial focuses on important details for that specific tutorial only; by giving students a starting point or template in each tutorial they allow a minimum of busy work with a maximum of student focus on the key points to be learned in that tutorial. Moreover, they do give enough theory so the students can learn the why and not just the how. The book is an interesting text with practical examples to tie together the theory and the practice. I strongly recommend it as a VB 2005 book for beginning VB students regardless of their academic major."—Harlan Brewer, Select Engineering Services, Inc.

Prepublication Review: "If you want to get started with Visual Basic Dot Net quickly, buy this book! The tutorials walk you step-by-step through interesting examples. The exercises are skill level appropriate and a lot of fun!"—Carol Buser, Owens Community College

Prepublication Review: "C How to Program, Fifth Edition, continues a tradition of excellence as a C textbook. The book presents C clearly and accurately, targeting beginning programmers with a well-organized exposition which builds from simple concepts to ultimately describing the complete language. The entire language is presented which makes the book valuable for experienced programmers. An addition to the fifth edition is a chapter on game programming using the Allegro library, which will whet the appetites of many budding programmers. This is an exceptional textbook and reference for the C programmer."—Ray Seyfarth, University of Southern Mississippi

Prepublication Review: "I have been teaching introductory programming courses since 1975, and programming in the C language since 1986. In the beginning there were no good textbooks on C - in fact there weren't any! When Deitel, C How to Program, 1/e came out, we jumped on it - it was at the time clearly the best text on C. The new edition continues a tradition─it is by far the best student-oriented textbook on programming in the C language─the Deitels have set the standard─again! A thorough, careful, student-oriented treatment of not just the language, but more importantly, the ideas, concepts, and techniques of programming! The addition of "live code" is also a big plus─encouraging active participation by the student. A great text!"—Richard Albright, Goldey-Beacom College

Prepublication Review: "Of any C textbook on the market, the Deitel book easily provides the clearest and most in-depth approach to standard C programming for student of all abilities. With the Deitel C textbook, my students have a tremendous resource that will enable them to succeed not only in my classroom but in the professional workplace for years to come."—William Smith, Ph.D., Asst. Prof., CIS, Tulsa Community College

Prepublication Review: "This book is an invaluable resource for both beginning and seasoned programmers. The authors' approach to explaining the concepts, techniques, and practices is comprehensive, engaging, and easy to understand. This is a must-have book."—Bin Wang, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Wright State University

Prepublication Review: "A great book for the beginning programmer. Covers material that will be useful in later programming classes and the job market."—Fred J. Tydeman, Tydeman Consulting, Vice-chair of J11 (ANSI "C")

Prepublication Review: "The unique features of the C How to Program, "teach by example" and "live-code approach", makes this textbook outstanding among other C books. C How to Program covers in depth analysis of C language with a wide variety of examples and exercises range from simple to advanced level to make suitable for 2 - 4 year academic institutions as well as professionals in the industry."—Ali Fazelpour, Department Chair, Business and Computers, Palm Beach Community College, Boca Campus
