Summary: C++ Programmer's Notebook
Review: As the title clearly says, it is a "notebook". It is not a "101 Learn C++" book but a good "notebook" for quick and dirty referencing. I like the layout that the text is
on the left and the digrams/codes on the right.

I have this book handy in my office for my work. It is a good notebook for a programmer when one has forgotten the syntax or simply a reference. I have to mention
that it also has some C flavours in addition to C++.

I recommend this book as a handy small notebook in the office.

All the best!

Summary: Callouts and Pictures Best Way To Learn C++
Review: Finally someone has come up with an approach to learning c++ that matches the way programmers like me learn. I simply lookup the functionality I need; look at complete, working sample code that contains the functionality, then read the callouts that point to each keyword and tells me what it does. There's also
sufficient text to further explain the rules. I found what I needed within seconds. Great job!

Summary: A quick way to learn C++
Review: I read many books while trying to learn c++ and I found the C++ programmer's notebook one of the best on the market. There are hundreds of little programs with each having callouts that point to syntax and tell you what's happening. You don't have to read pages and pages of text to understand how to use c++. This book gives you c++ programs in a "picture" like way. More book should be written this way.

Summary: just waste my money and time
Review: I thought it was a great book but....., now I am very sad. I do not think the author knows enough about C++. If you want to confuse C and C++, and write some awful codes, get this book.

Summary: Good book with someone familiar with C++ programming syntax.
Review: This book can be a good addition to your C++ library. But, you will need a good C++ programming book which explains contents of this book in more details. This book does have good examples but what good are the examples if they are not explained very well.

I recommend getting:

The C++ Programming Language Special Edition
by Bjarne Stroustrup with this book.

Summary: Makes mastering c++ easy
Review: With so many c++ books on the market, not one explains c++ the way programmers like to lean. At least until now. I found this book a well worth addition to my library. You lookup the functionality you want, then look at a fully working - short - program showing how to code the functionality. Best of all the authors use callouts to describe every aspect of the syntax. I really like the programmer's notebook style.
