Rating:  - Perfect for self-study
First, my background: I had abandoned the computer science program at my university in favor of mathematics two years before I gave this book (one of my old texts) a serious look. I came back to it when research projects and Matlab make my interest in programming return.
This book is a little gem--for someone with at least a little programming experience, it moves along with an excellent learning curve, zipping along without leaving the reader confused. This book is not for a total ... Read More
Rating: - A new way of teaching. And how good it is!
This book doesn't do thing traditionally like normal tutorials you find on the World Wide Web. The people who have written this text CLEARLY know both c++ and pedagogics.
When their experience in pedagogics is shining through this book you really learn what you want to learn...
Anyone who is a beginner or a semi-beginner should pick up this book.
Rating: - This is the ONLY BOOK you MUST READ
I do not understand how some people can give negative reviews for this book. This book is MUST have in case if you want to get basic to intermediate level of C++ programming.
I wish they publish something for advanced level programming.
A+
Rating:  - Mostly disappointed with the book.
First of all, I'll say what's good with the book. The author's way of writing demands that you learn C++ terminology quickly. This, infact, annoyed me because the terminology does not interest me, and I was more interested in the concepts, but by forcing me to follow the wankish terms, I am better able to understand other programmers. The book is also good at not dwelling on the same subject endlessly for the most part. However, I think some of the concepts should have been explained more while ... Read More
Rating:  - Great for introducing pointers, templates and iterators
This is a great place to start. Iterators, templates, then pointers... That's a different approach. Each topic is explained well, though the author gets bogged down in the details of his ever expanding example. Never-the-less, templates are my friend. I can build my own with the power of pointers and convenience of iterators.
You'll inevitably need authoritative books on C++, OOP, and MFC to do anything useful in Windows. But this is a great intro to the C++ language and STL.
