Review: The book has real world example. He is the Einstein of C++. I am a student and it is a easy reading book.

Summary: Great Book for Developers
Review: Despite the book's title, this is not a book for beginners to C++. The subjects discussed in this book are designed for those who have taken some preparatory courses in C++. One of the topics that the authors discussed extensively is the standard template library. Most of textbooks for C++ rarely touch on this subject at all. For C++ developers who want good examples of how to incorporate the standard library into their codes, this book will provide a good foundation.Other recommendation: "Generic Programming and the STL" by Matthew H. Austern

Summary: good introduction to C++
Review: A well written text. For those who want an introduction to C++ that isn't an introduction to programming per se.

Summary: C++ Primer
Review: The worst textbook I've ever used. I'm trying to learn C++ and I find this book to be confusing, to say the least. The method of showing three or four wrong ways to do something before showing the correct method is totally exasperating. I have completely lost all faith in this book as a learning tool. A complete and total waste of time, effort and money!

Summary: Old book Good book
Review: I have bought this book many (4-5) years ago and did not use it much since most of my coding is in C. However, recently I needed to work on a number of C++ apps using classes and templates and this book brought me up to speed extreamly fast. It has a good collection of examples and it talks about not only what to do but what not to do. If you are an experienced C programmer and would like a single C++ resource, this book is probably it. My only complaint is the lack of a source code CD with the book.

Summary: Covers it all, but jumps around a lot
Review: I am in the beginner to intermetiate level in C++. This book is very challenging; I am able to keep up with it, but it takes some concentration and work. I bought this book about a year ago and find that I use it more than any of the other C++ books I own (5 others). I use it so much because it goes into great detail in explaining the theories behind the code. On the down side, there are very few complete programs listed (if any) and the subjects jump around the book a lot (e.g., STL string). However, I find this helps in my understanding by forcing me to completely digest the subject before being able to make the code work in my programs. If you are looking for code snippets, this is not for you. If you are looking for explanations, buy it! There is also an Answer Book available ("C++ Primer Answer Book" by Clovis L. Tondo and Bruce P. Leung) that answers all the exercises in the book. Together, the two books are unbeatable for understanding this complex subject.

Summary: a bad book for a beginner
Review: Although a "complete" book on C++, the writing style leaves a lot to be desired. The chapters are in a strange order and the presentation of material is chaotic. I can see how this book would dicourage a beginner.

Summary: A thick and good C++ book...
Review: This is only my opinions, of coures. I like this book very much. It is written by very very intelligent people, I think. All I can say is buy and read it. C++ is not an easy language. But be patient, you will get it.

Summary: THE BOOK IS HARD TO READ.
Review: The book is organized in very confusing ways. No only the misplacement of concept introduction and application, but also language used is over complicated. This book is hard to read, especially you are a beginner. Even I finished reading the book, I do not think the book is very well written. If you want to learn C++, I recommend a much better book "The Complete Reference: C++" by Herbert Schildt.
