Rating:  - Excellent book for learning C++
Although the pace may not be easy for someone completely new to programming, this an exellent book for learning the C++ language. It now introduces the C++ standard library early in the book, before getting into object-oriented programming and C++ class design and implementation. This makes it easier to start writing useful programms sooner. Organization, clarity and style are outstanding.
Rating: - Best C++ book in my personal collection
In the last year i had two computer science exams about C++ programming.
I had never seriously studied programming before, so i was surprised with almost infinite potentialities of this language.
However, modern C++ is a lot different from the one most books try to teach: i've got a lot of C++ books like Deitels' and Schlidt's, but all they offer is a overview of a "pre-standard-like" C++: a lot of chapters and exercises on arrays, pointers, C-like-strings, just like this was the ...

Rating: - 4th edition more pedagogic than the 3rd edition
First, I own the 2nd, 3rd and 4th editions of this book. I originally learned C++ from the 2nd edition in the early 90's (it's out of date). Later I bought the 3rd edition when the C++ standards were updated. Now, after a few years away from C++, I find that I have to catch up with the latest and greatest C++ idioms, methods, convential wisdoms, whatever.
I started reading the 3rd edition and after 300 pages it became very obvious the 3rd edition was very encyclopaedic in its coverage ... Read More
Rating: - Balanced and comprehensive, excellent general reference
A great improvement over previous editions - presents a very good balance of introductory and advanced topics. It served my purpose extremely well as a refresher to C++ after several years. Certainly, Stroustrup offers better coverage of more complex topics - however, as a general purpose textbook, this is good. Indispensable to me, more so than the second edition that I was still using. If you are a beginner or an exprerienced C++ programmer looking for a refresher, this is a good book. If you ... Read More
Rating: - The book is great, BUT
yeah, may be it's primer, but it's definitely not the book to start learning about programming on the whole and about C++ in particular, because as I can see authors sometimes make assumptions they shouldn't have made (all of them are in the first part of the book). And for such a misleading title I should've given it 4 stars , but I can't.
Pick up "C++ Primer Plus" by Stephen Prata as first programming book, as one of reviewers has already mentioned. I should say, that if I read this book instead ... Read More
