Reviews
From the reviews: "This book 'is not just about learning to program but about 'Learning to program Well.'' Meyer's latest text conveys his impressive experience in the field of computer science, going well beyond just software engineering. ... the target audience includes both students and teachers. ...The large quantity of information provided is well organized. ... Colors are plentiful and character fonts play an important role. ...Coming from a father of object orientation and software quality, it is not surprising that this is an excellent book." (Alexandre Bergel, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2010) "The best thing about this book, and it is a very good thing indeed, is that it is thorough. ... The material is well-written and thorough - it includes introductory material aimed at the student, then at the instructor. ... this is an excellent book. If I were put in the position of needing to teach an elementary programming course ... this would be high on my list of candidate textbooks." (Robert L. Glass, The Software Practitioner, January-February, 2010) "This nicely written and enjoyable textbook is used for the 'Introduction to programming' course taught at ETH (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich) to all entering computing science students. ... In addition to the excellent book, Meyer provides an outstanding web site (http://touch.ethz.ch/) with a huge amount of material including course slides, video recording of lectures, slides for exercise sessions, a lot of information for instructors, software downloads, and, of course, blogs and wikis."

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
