Summary: Very informative, but disorganized
Review: An extremely informative book, in fact far more informative than C++ for dummies and Learn C++ in 21days. I would not recommend it as a refernce as the topics are not well organized. Beginners should read something else first as this book is quite technical. But if you know C programming or any other OOP language, this book beats every other C++ book.

Summary: Excellent for experienced C++ programmers, but no "primer"
Review: This book is a fine choice for a 3rd or 4th C++ text in an experienced professional's library. For an audience already well acquainted with C++ and object-oriented programming the presentations are clear, the examples are realistic, and the recommended techniques are generally enlightened.However this book is no "primer". The strange sequence of topics will confuse the C++ neophyte. Vitally important basic OOP concepts like inheritance are put off for over 800 pages, while highly specialized advanced notions such as certain STL containers and algorithms appear near the beginning, often with insufficient explanation.

Summary: Where are the answers?
Review: Very good book. I was disappointed however that there are no answers given for the exercises!

Summary: Great computer science book,excellent C++ tutorial/reference
Review: The most comprehencable, accurate and real-life applicable technical book I have seen so far. Graduate computer science student.

Summary: Great, but get the next revision, 3.0
Review: Great book, I relied on it forever and half. It has everything you could ever want in a C++ reference. Not for the faint of heart, but for those wanting to dive into C++, GET THIS BOOK (but get the revision 3.0, just as good, but it has all the new standard stuff)
Rating:
Summary: Classic updated
Review: A caveat: the language version it describes is so new even the very first examples won't compile on many current compilers.

Summary: The Lippman book is THE book to get on C++
Review: Lippman strikes gold with his third edition of this C++ clasic. He supplies you with a wide breadth of coverage combined with a reading ease that allows this book to be read cover-to-cover. And it's a great reference, too. If you like Danish with your C++, buy the book by that Strousstrup guy. If you want to learn C++, the "Primer" is the one to get.

Summary: Detailed book written in ANSI/ISO standard C++
Review: A much awaited book - highly impressed with the detail and standardization. Lippman is an outstanding author. What is most disappointing and surprising considering how in depth the authors go with each topic, is that there are several exercises, but there are NOT any answers to them. What is the purpose of not having the resources to a solution - I'm not a student but a professional who needs to strengthen my C++ skills. My feelings are mixed with the content being excellent, but not including solutions to the exercises is very frustrating. They'll probably come out with an answer book to make more of a profit.

Summary: A wonderful book for those wanting to learn everything C++
Review: Get this book. If you have the second edition, and aren't sure whether to get this one, DO IT. This has all the new ANSI/ISO standard stuff, plus a lot more on style. The new book is bigger (wider and thicker) and stuffed with content.
The only problem with the book is the book physically. It has a very thin cover, and the pages feel as though they will rip under your touch. I was disappointed, as I take my second edition with me everywhere, and it has held up wonderfully. I'm going to have to duct tape this one.
This book, along with it's predecessor, gets my highest rating, if not my best spelling.

Summary: Fine manuall,examples,easy way to explain what is C++.
Review: I have a Russian edition of this book at home, and recently found English one in my University /Tel-Aviv/.One conclusion i'd like to make:
this book is a perfect choice for beginners,as
it doesn't require former knowledge of C,also
experienced programmer can enjoy it as well.
