5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book to learn C++ at "light speed", 20 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Although the first chapter may be difficult to follow, but I interpreted that chapter as an overview of C++. This book is excellent from chapter two onwards. It explains C++ from the ground up. For those with programming experience, this book puts you on a fast-track to become a full fledge C++ programmer in no time. An excellent book to learn C++!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but not for Beginners, 13 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Before tackling this book I would suggest having a basic understanding of the C++ Programming Language. The book is a good book to get those who have just completed something like "The Beginners Guide to C++" into more advanced concepts of the language.

I do recomend the book to my friends and they have benifited from it as much as I have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the time or money, 29 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I was required to buy this book for a class. I was very disappointed by it from the very first chapter. The author throws up some really convoluted code, and then barely explains what he is doing. Rather than presenting a problem and suggesting how to use C++ to solve it, the code itself is presented as the problem to be solved ,as in, "try to figure out what I was thinking when I wrote these lines of code". Even the typical "Hello World" program was much more complicated than necessary, giving the impression that C++ I/O is more difficult than it really is. I ended up buying other books to complete the course, and would not recommend this book to anyone trying to learn object oriented program concepts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the intermediate to Advanced C / C++ Programmer
If you are looking for a book to learn C++ from the ground up, THIS IS NOT IT.

But if you are looking for a great book that helps understand OOP programming from its basic form... Read more
