>From the website referenced:

Chapter 3 is a fairly intense coverage of the C that's used in C++, but
if you're just getting started with all this it may be a little too
intense. To remedy this, 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.
