Balagurusamy's C books are good for freshers of some school, colleges, and I
think they are NOT good for programming, but scoring marks in the theory exams,
rather 'Let Us C' is good for who want to do programs..

For C and C++ Ritchie , Lippman are good books. You can use Strousstroup as
reference later. For a fresher guy best thing is learn from a faculty and book
by Kochan and actual coding in front of computer.
Learning is a process so don't be a senti on a book

Let us C and similar books are mostly used as de facto text book by students and
many teachers. Excessive reliance on these book for concept building is evident
in poor quality of programmers that are being produced by most of the technical
Institutes. these books may be good for starters but not for the undergraduate
students and definitely a NO for teachers....... but yes they are cheap and
widely available and full of parlour tricks

Personally, I've detested 'Let us C' just by the look of its presentation and
methods. I'm a great fan of 'Programming in C' by Stephen G. Kochan. True the
book is a bit outdated (I referred to the 1987 print), but for a beginner who is
clueless about programming this is a great start, before diving into Kerningham
and Ritchie.

This tells a lot about the quality of computer education being imparted in our
institutes. The books are so much rubbish that they should be out-rightly
banned, yet they are part of curricula. The books just contain some fun riddles
and does not teach actual concepts of programming or the languages.

C++ is not cout,cin. It is something more than that. It has a philosophy, a
pradigm. If someone wants indepth knowledge of OOPS and language like C++, Java
then books written by Mr. Debasish Jana and published by PHI is the best.
Selling by quantity is definitely not sale by quality.

If someone wants to have an indepth knowledge on C++ and Java and OOPs, the
books written by Mr. Debasis Jana may be considered the pioneers. The basics are
unfolded with example all over the book and it includes lot of exercises. The
concept is gradually developed and the free flow of writing leads the reader
reach the goal very smoothly.

Have somebody read the C++ and Java books written by Jana published by PHI? They
are excellent books with insightful coverage and OOP basics, a must read.
