Average Rating: 
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.

Rating: - One of the best....
They have got magic lamp to capture C++ gene in a very small book. You need to have some programming experience before you start since it goes from 0 to 80 mph in 7 seconds (chapters) like a sports car. And surprisingly you catch every thing on your way. They read your mind and explain it before you draw wrong conclusions.
They do not spend useless time on "Primer" details though it starts from basic programming constructs. Try it...
Rating: - The best C++ book I've found.
I have purchased about 15 books on C++ and this was hands down the best. As the description says, it is more top down than bottom up. There are thousands of features of C++. You might even use some of them in a program. This book gets you programming immediately using the more important and commonly used C++ functions and explaining in actually pretty gory detail what they do and how they do it. I found it utterly approachable and useful from the first page on.
You can always by ... Read More
