I would have recommended Deitel & Deitel myself and also the
QUE MCAD Training Guides written by Amit Kahlani which will
introduce you to all of the fundamentals. The Transcender exams
of course remain on everybody's list but be advised if any of you
plan to certify the actual exams are much more obtuse and questions
much more complex than any of the preparatory resources including
Transcender.
