I cannot give less than five stars to this book.

I've been suggesting to buy this book to all of my friends that wants to learn C++.

It is full of working examples, and it is very clear.

In my opinion this is THE book to start with if you
want to learn C++.

Then of course go ahead with meyers books and lipman inside C++ object model.

This book is a definite asset to anyone, novice or experienced who uses C++.
Simple, clear and complete explanations on topics so seemingly difficult to
understand in the other C++ books, packed with practical and runnable (!)
programs that make things easy to understand, many hints to avoid errors,
end of chapter exercises and solutions...
In all, a book that is worth every penny!

As a newbie to C++ programming, I found this book to be a very good introduction. Easy to follow, clear in layout and language, plenty of examples and exercises. It explains everything from the ground up and covers more complex themes in later chapters.
I am enjoying the book thoroughly and give it my highest recommendation.

I have been borrowing my friend's copy and have found it a very complete foundation to c++. This book allows you to move on and understand the more complex parts of the language. I have now ordered my own copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book on a hairy subject
Reviewed in the United States on 4 April 2007
This is certainly the best C++ book I have read for auto-didactic purposes. C++ is a horrible programming language (coming from a functional programming POV, as well as a ton of ANSI-C systems and Fortran numerics coding in my past), which has unfortunately become a standard in many fields. Should it be a necessary evil to you, this is probably the book to read. Better yet: find a different line of work. All right thinking people should avoid making C++ a part of their profession. It has erased more hours of talent than MS minesweeper or solitaire.
