Sorry, but that is an atrocious book. Compared to what I had the
privilege of learning from, the Lafore book is completely dry and
lifeless. I'd recommend OP to get hold of this one from Cohoon &
Davidson: http://www.mcgraw-hill.com.au/html/9780072560404.html. In my
opinion, learning C++ from an OO perspective is absolutely essential,
otherwise she might try to tackle it from a C perspective (if she knows
it already) and miss the whole point. This book really gives a good
grounding in OOP.
This book was the recommended one in college for us, and I used to love
solving the exercises at the end of each chapter. Makes sure you really
get your head around the concepts. Made Java a no-brainer for me after
working through this :). Not everybody's cup o tea, but I recommend you
give it a shot, she might end up liking it.
Vamsee.
