Summary: Very well written but structure is questionable.
Review: The book itself is fantastic. Everything is layed out in an easy to read fashion. Truely a C++ beginners book. The orginization while not bad, left some searching up to the reader and some flags could have been in bold or highlighted in some fashion. But I would not consider this book a waste. It was well thought out and meant for the beginner. Thanks for writing a book thats was so educational Tony!

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This book discusses wide range of topics, covering most aspects of C++ programming. At the same time the auther is meticulus and has dealt with the topics in depth covering finer points. Many solved examples and additional excercises are given. The whole book is linked with a project, so the students will get to know how and where to apply (in real world situation) the topic which they have studied. Excellent for both teachers and students. Highly recommended. -Prof. M.G.BHATIA

Summary: Great book
Review: This book is just amazing. True, it could have been organized a bit better, but that is its only downfall (if that even matters). The book goes in-depth on almost everything in C++. It'll teach you pretty much everything you need except the most advanced topics. Its a tough book since it covers so much, but its definatly worth the time and money if you're willing to invest in it.

Summary: A great place to start
Review: This book is very, very exhaustive in its coverage. I didn't even go through a part of it. But aside from its bulk, it was a very good introduction to programming. Gaddis does an excellent job of showing how to program step-by-step, and makes it easy to teach yourself. The book also contains a quick reference section where you can look up frequently used commands without having to find them in the text. This book is highly recommended for beginning (and even continuing) programmers.

Summary: Excellent for those looking to learn C++
Review: This is an excellent book for those looking to learn the C++ language. It starts of with the absolute basics and goes through medium-level oop programming.

Summary: Good Coverage of C++
Review: This was the required book for my college classes in C++.
Better than most books I have read or skimmed thru on C++ programming. There are a few bugs in the included programs however and the author forgot to address command line arguments, passing parameters thru main and returning a value from main. This could cause trouble if your not on a Windows platform running these executables.
Overall, I kept my copy after the class as a useful reference book.
BTW, this book does not cover Windows Programming with C++ at all.

Summary: Definitely NOT your run-of-the-mill textbook.
Review: What can I say that hasn't already been said. This is the required text in CS1315 at UT Dallas. I have thoroughly read the book and worked through most of the examples. I felt the handling of buffered input and pointers was slightly confusing, but it was by far better than anything else I've read. The examples are interesting & unintimidating, and the jargon is carefully explained. What more can you ask for? If you really want this stuff to gel, get into the CS program at UT Dallas.
