I found this book a bit of a dissappointment, certainly from a publisher as competent as O'Reilly. It does a fair job of teaching "C with classes", but objects take a back seat (they're barely mentioned before chapter 13) and if you're not going to do full blown object oriented programming why use C++? Overall this book provides a poor introduction to C++, a prospective student would be better off with a text that stresses C++ issues from the outset.
