4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, a little dispersed, January 9, 2005

H. Singh (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: C++ In-Depth Box Set (Hardcover)

The listing didn't seem to quickly show the books inside:
* Modern C++ Design, by Andrei Alexandrescu
* Accelerated C++, by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo
* Essential C++, by Stan Lippman
* Exceptional C++, by Herb Sutter
* More Exceptional C++, by Herb Sutter

My primary complaint is that two of the books (accelerated and essential c++), are rather beginner-oriented compared to the advanced nature of the rest of the books. The other three were great, but I found little use for accelerated and essential.
