C++ With Object-Oriented Programming

Summary: Excellent Book to read for graduate level students
Review: I didn't have the chance to read the book thoroughly until recently when I have free time to go over it all. I find all the fundamental aspects of the C++ programming has been explained thoroughly and very clearly. But I would not recommend anyone with very little C++ experience to read the book because it's not meant for beginners.

Summary: Want a headache?
Review: This book is poorly organized and poorly indexed. It appears to be written by someone who wants to impress upon others what a great programmer he is but is not concerned with clearly passing on his knowledge. He uses unnecessarily extravagant examples in early chapters to explain relatively simple concepts. He then expects you to constantly flip back to these early chapters while trying to decipher the later chapters. He covers the syntax fairly well but virtually ignores the semantics. The power of C++ programming lies in understanding the semantics of the language - the syntax is trivial. If you are a computer science professional who understands how scoping and function parameter passing is implemented at the cpu and memory level then get Ira Pohl's "Object Oriented Programming Using C++". Pohl tersely explains the semantics and power of C++ without resorting to unnecessarily complicated code examples.
