5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book., December 29, 1999

By 

Abu Amr "Nizzo" (Nablus- Palestine) - See all my reviews

This review is from: C++ Unleashed (Paperback)

Great book. Worths the money. serious one. it is for people who has very good experience in C++, if you are a beginner please consider another book like C++ from scratch or learn C++ in 21 days. It covers lots of important C++ aspects like: UML, COM, CORBA, Java, SQL, OODBMS, STL, algoritms, OOP, MFC, namespace, encryption and more... it explains things very well. Good book and good price ..

5.0 out of 5 stars best described as an Encyclopedia of interm/advanced C++, January 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: C++ Unleashed (Paperback)

There is no other book like this on the market (bookstore which is its strength) For the amount of topics it covers it does cover them in good detail without having tunnel vision. the book could have a big chapter in it just on uml and everything there is on Stl's and some homemade templates, and genetic algorithms, but then the book would be 1300+ pages. with all of jesse's books tries to have the reader develop clean simple C++ code. this book is well organized and is best for intermediate and advanced C++ programmers with 6mths to 12 mths experience . if u do not have that experience then get learn C++ in 21 days. it is a good book but learning java or C++ in 21 days can be done if one does not work or go to school and does all the exercises. both books should be learn java or C++ in 12 weeks. that is realistic.

topics in this book: Recursion and data structures search algorithms, generic algorithms. (not genetic :( ) hashing and parsing, object encryption, stl containers , corba and java vs C++ . there is alot more.:) the book visual C++ 5 powertoolkit is similar to this book but is about multimedia aps etc.. by ventana press. version 6 should be out soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is afraid of C++, October 1, 2000

By 

Muyiwa (Lagos Nigeria) - See all my reviews

This review is from: C++ Unleashed (Paperback)

I bougth this book because I read the great reviews and I have to say I am not dissappointed.If you have read a C++ primer and you are looking to become a superstar,this is the book for you.From this book you can move on to great things(this book is not for beginners)

I only started serious C++ last year and now I wonder what I was afraid of.Teach yourself C++ in 24hrs( by the same author) is great for beginners.
