[Kurt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sometimes - and this is one of those times - it is precious to be concise. I wish that this book remains pertinent to the exploring starting programmer and it will continue to serve an audience who can look past its dated details. Fortunately, the details don't take anything from the C++ that's at its meat.
