Rating:  - The first half is great...
I really liked the first half of the book but then the last half was like a completely different book. He jumps right into pretty advanced stuff and it got confusing :/
you will definitely need to take this one slow or read more books after this one to truly understand it.
Rating: - Forget the title
This is a book that begins FROM BEGINNING and continues with simple examples. Maybe some will say level is low, but if you know C, try this after C if you want to add obj oriented programming to your skills.
Rating:  - Great intro!!!
Being an introductory book on such a big programming language as C++, it would be naive to expect an in-depth coverage within its scope. And yes, it has little flaws here and there like most academic books. I used a different text written for beginners but at the end of it I didn't feel quite as confident in pursuing more challenging reading as when I finished this one. This text offers a clear and easy-to-understand exposure of the language's basic topics, which are exemplified by the use of short code in order that the student can quickly grasp the concept and move on.
If you are a novice to C++ and looking for a solid basis for further and more in-depth reading on this rather challenging language, I strongly recommend this text as your first contact with it, always keeping in mind though that there is always more to be learnt from other sources. It did work for me and I bet it will work for you!!
Rating:  - Good Starting Point
This book is a good starting point for people wanting to learn how to program. The book is neatly organize, but the File I/O section lacks examples and detail. Engineers wanting to program using this book might find this book lacking more information on the math library and functions (hardly any description on that at all).
Rating: - The "REAL GENIUS" of it is, the Logical Output Flow.
I'm not overstating my opinion of this book, but the "REAL GENIUS" of it is, the logical Output flow. With plently of whitespace which surrounds each line of code in all the chapters, the reader can visual see and compare what the compiler does with each line of code from all the illustrations given. The summaries are generally short, stating only the key modifications for each code illustrated. The code has been well groomed, almost perfect, except it's the level of difficulty which uncovers the C++ language. The authors have made this clear, but the "REAL GENIUS" of it still remains. The book is one of the best C++ titles I've read so far, I can't empathize this enough, try it out, it's worth a look!!
