Rating: - By far the best text on the subject
If you enjoyed K&R's C programming text, you'll find the format and style of this book excellent, both as an introduction to the C++ language and a tool for advanced users. I read the book from cover to cover and have not found any other book this fascinating. The authors are excellent writers and tutors. Use it for self-study or as a complete textbook. Ample problems and their solutions are provided. Can't wait for the next edition.
