Rating: much respect to the person that can write a comparision of this and Thinking In C++ by Bruce Eckel in the next 48 hours. pfff. I don't like that book and the only information i could find was a unanamous "This book is a must-have, yeah, yeah , yeah etc.". that is why i bought it. I hate it. there are many better online c++ tutorials but having a book is so much more useful. so, is this better than Bruce Eckel's long-winded, repetative, rhetorical, irritating masterflop? by the way, i know Java to the level of Java In A Nutshell fully read and i know c++ about half as-well, thanks to Bruce Eckel's rabid following of nausiating worshippers. I got to page 150 and i knew as much about c++ as i did about Java at page 60 in O'reilly's Java equivalent. thanks for anyone who can write a "no-fluff" comparison, dis-similar to my own rantings. WHY DO YOU FORCE ME TO RATE THIS? (o'reilly)
