This book has a bad rap in my opinion. If used in conjunction with a more complete reference or text on C++ it fills a nice niche. I appreciate the writing style and the "simplicity". It helped me get to speed quicker and actually programming faster. It does sound by the comments posted here and on Amazon that the first ed. contained a lot of flaws. I have the second edition and the flaws seemed minor (be sure to check out the errata). So to sum up, I think the book would be limiting if used as the sole text to learn C++. In conjunction with a more complete text on the matter it is quite good. |
