It is short, balanced, correct, and technical. You finish the book actually knowing what is object-oriented programming. That is such an old-fashion virtue, a book that is what the title says.
"Question: How do you know which management techniques work best? Logically, doesn't the existence of thousands of management books show that no one knows what works best?" Boss answers, "The trick is knowing which one to read." Dilbert says, "Now you're just making me Mad." - Dilbert, May 17, 2003. Like management books, some C++ books are safer choices than others are.
I successfully learned C++ from the Josuttis book. But I have a list of books that broke my heart, each good but not the correct first book for me (and maybe not for you). The three categories of books and their faults: Short books for the gifted, elite or experienced like "Accelerated C++" by Koenig & Moo, "Essential C++" by Lippmann, "C++ FAQs" by Cline, Lomow & Girou, "Thinking in C++" by Eckel. These are too unique, peculiar, or idiosyncratic. The 400,000 word beginner books like "C++ Primer Plus" by Prata, "C++ How to Program" by Deitel & Deitel. Long, boring & slow. Then there are encyclopedias that are written at a high level of detail, maybe too high for you. Examples are "C++ Primer" by Lippman & Lajoie, "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup. If the Stroustrup book is an Encyclopedia Britannica of C++, then the Josuttis book is Britannica Junior. I am convinced the Josuttis book can successfully teach C++ to programmers with widely varying abilities, experience and ambition. Then, when you are ready, go read Stroustrup or Koenig & Moo or other fine books.

Thanks Nicolai for putting this together, a wonderful book that will surely help many people that are interested to learn C++.
I wanted to extend my knowledge in computer programming languages and I began to study C++ computer language. At some point I discovered about the existence of the Standard C++ and I understood that, in my case, the right approach must be studying exactly the Standard C++. Finally I did find my personnel "Entry Point" within Nicolai's very nice book! While I often refer to other books as well, I do use the "Object Oriented Programming in C++" as main base point.
The Author demonstrated:
1. Deep understanding of the subject.
2. Strong defending of the idea of the Standard C++.
3. Carefully marking the commons and differences between C++ and C programming languages.
4. Great attention to the detail.
5. Clear explanations of the definitions.
6. Perfect cross references.
7. Generous sharing with the reader.
8. Excellent style!
Thanks a lot for the excellent job!
The Publisher did a good job as well. The book is easy to read and follow. Thanks!
Listmania!
