The printed book contains a CD ROM training course that gently introduces you to the C syntax that you need to understand in order to take on C++ or Java. The CD is called Thinking in C: Foundations for Java & C++. Originally we sold this CD separately, but now it is only available bound into the printed versions of either Thinking in C++, 2nd edition or Thinking in Java, 2nd edition (the cost of the book including the CD is actually cheaper that the former cost of the CD alone).
Per averlo devi acquistare la versione cartacea del testo, a questo punto conviene comprare un libro sul linguaggio C se ne senti il bisogno.
