Summary: Great book for all levels
Review: I have looked at a plethora of C books. This book is the only one which is very suitable for everyone- from people without programming experience to power programmers in other languages. I bought this book without programming experience. Now I make excellent programs and still use this book as a reference. On top of that it also goes into C++ in the later chapters. I call it my C bible

Summary: Superb Contribution to Humanity
Review: I love a book that is not afraid to slow down to actually teach you something. The authors have done everything successfully, from grouping the topics, to ordering the flow of the chapters, to the code itself. The tips and pitfalls provide sanity checks for common mistakes, and to the attentive reader should save lots of time.True, this book may not delve deeply into all the obscurities that C/C++ has to offer, but for its purposes as 1) a tutorial, 2) an introduction to programming, and 3) an accessible treatment of 95% of C/C++, it works! (It is probably advisable to avoid the abstruse 5% anyway.) I still reference this book occasionally, so it's an enduring text. Other books, such as the 21 Days series, gloss over the details and give the reader the false notion s/he has achieved some sort of quick mastery. Afterwards, you may as well throw it out because it is useful only once. On the other end of the spectrum, is the C++ Primer, written by Stanley Lippman. That text reeks of loftiness and obscurity. After you've programmed C/C++ for a few years, put that book on your shelf to impress others. But if you like learning and want to experience the fun that is C/C++ programming, go with Deitel & Deitel.

Summary: Great
Review: I picked this book up from a book exchange store and was highly impressed with it. I've been through it and have been able to follow most of it. However I am having a few problems with some of the exercises. I was wondering if there is an answer key to th exercises or even a teachers edition. For your information I'm having problems with the following exercises: 2.17, 2.56, 3.12, 3.34, 4.10, 4.20, 5.12 and 6.16. THank you for your attention to this problem. Royce Olsen

Summary: It is a very good book for beginners
Review: I simply love this book for its nice step by step explanation

Summary: quite "applicable" for a programming textbook
Review: i think this book is the best among the other textbook because it gives the software engineering approach, not only the theory of programming, and the exercise is very chalenging too.

Summary: I had to read some chapters twice, but it was worth it!
Review: I was forced to buy this book for a college class on C programming. I very much enjoyed it. At first it seemed dense, but I realized that it wasn't the book it was the class. I finally stopped putting all my effort into note taking and started putting more time into the book. This book is very simple and exaustive. Have fun programming.

Summary: Very useful for undergraduate students
Review: I would like to use this book for teaching undergraduate students of CS. I particularly like the guidelines of common errors, portability tips and software engineering observations.
I also like the sample programs within the text to explain different constructs. Well done!
P.S. How can I get the instructor's manual?

Summary: Bravo!! This is the best.
Review: If you want to learn C++ then this is your choice.
Deitel did a good job in bringing out this book. I rate this book #9. this book lost one point in operator overloading and Exception handling. Little bit more need to be said about this topics. It is not that bad, i read the chapters on operator overloading and exception handling twice , and was able understand. Overall this the best book available.

Summary: If you are a professional learning C++ - get this book!
Review: If you're just tinkering and want to learn the basics of C++ quickly - this is not the book for you. If you are a software professional, particularly if you are familiar with C, and want real in-depth training in C++ in a format you are familiar with, this book belongs on your reference shelf. It's not unlike a college level textbook, so if you are used to that you will learn quickly. It uses standard programming excercises and data structures that would be taught in freshman and sophomore level programming classes, so if you've been there, you can relate to the examples easily. It does'nt try to cram down the basics in a few chapters, everything you need is there, with the only major exception is that there is nothing about STL, so the book is getting a little dated in that respect. The book is also a great reference, I have a number of books on C and C++ (and have skimmed through dozens at bookstores here in Austin) and this is the only book other than K&R that I use regularly. This is book is one of the few worth the price, as long as you program in C++, you will no doubt have a use for it

Summary: One of the best I saw!
Review: It is one of the best books on c++ programming. But there should be more notes on each program, especially on the more advanced topics. I will keep this book for reference in future.
