Raves for Deitel training courses! Im an adult student currently in an OO/C++ class (earning my bachelors in Computer Info. Systems). Our instructor is great in C and Java but has never taught OO/C++. But, today, Ive been blessed. I found your Complete C++ Training Course. I also plan on learning Java as well, and now, thanks to your Java Course, I can fulfill my dream. - Broxi Thomas, University student I wanted to offer kudos for your product. If every training CD utilized the same format, then learning new products would be easy. The format, resources and layout of the classroom is refreshing and useful. It is clean, quick, and effective. I began with Chapter One and took notes and tried every exercise; reviewed and listened to every example. I understand the material so much better now that I am amazed. PLEASE produce cyber classrooms for EVERY software package and technology that is in existence today. You would be doing a "beyond the call of duty" service to the computer industry. Of course, you would be a little busy for the next millennium...: ) - Jonathan Gravois SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR All developers seeking to master XMLWeb professionals building on their existing HTML skillsContent developersEnterprise application integrators System Requirements Windows 95/98/NT 4.x/2000Up To 120MB disk space/64MB RAM8x CD-ROM drive & sound card support
