4.0 out of 5 stars Good theory
This book was not meant to compete with the Teach Yourself Foo in 21 Days For Dummies In A Nutshell books. It does a great job, however, of helping an experienced programmer learn C++. It also does a good job discussing when and why you might want to use certain more esoteric features of the language.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for experienced, October 24, 2000

This review is from: The Late Night Guide to C++ (Paperback)
It is jump start but with a lot of theory and technical stuff. It is definitely not like teach yourself in 21 days. I find this book helpful but I couldn't say that's right for others. I like this book a lot.
