Bruce Eckel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruce Eckel is the author of numerous books and articles about computer programming. He also gives frequent lectures and seminars for computer programmers. His best known works are Thinking in Java and Thinking in C++, aimed at programmers wanting to learn the Java or C++ programming languages, particularly those with little experience of object-oriented programming. Most reviewers consider the books to be better written and more pedagogic than most introductory texts^{[citation needed]}. Mr Eckel was a founding member of the ANSI/ISO C++ standard committee. Eckel has since made both the forementioned books available for all to download freely. [1] However, his recent book - 4th edition of Thinking in Java is no longer available in a free electronic form.
