general:
A really good C++ book for beginners. I mean, it probably won't work as the very first book on programming, but if you have some programming background and just want to learn C++, this should work really well. The whole thing is structured very nicely, and in the rare case when you have some questions, they are typically answered on the next page.

personal:
I realized that nobody ever taught me C++ properly, so I decided to try reading a few classic textbooks, starting with the very basics More...

I've been using this book to brush up on my C++ for interviews - I've been writing C++ for a while, but I've also worked in some environments (embedded) where C++ was written more like C (no use of vectors, strings, etc.), so I needed to brush up on these topics the most.

On that account, I think the book is great (I'd even say 4-star worthy).

However....one thing I found slightly disturbing is that the book seems to imply that learning about pointers and memory management are a thing of the past More...

Seems like a good book for beginner, very direct, no non-sense style.

don't think it is necessary.. too long

Well organized and comprehensive.

goooood!!

Very thorough, covers all the basics and advanced topics, very good index.

This is a pretty good C++ book. Covers everything. I can't really speak any more intelligently on this subject!

Excellent series
