Good theory, January 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Late Night Guide to C++ (Paperback)
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.

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.

This book is the pits, April 8, 1997

This review is from: The Late Night Guide to C++ (Paperback)
As a proffessional windows developer, I am keen to get intoc++. Unfortunately this book is not the one to use to get youkickstarted into the world of c++ (contrary to the blurb on the back cover) . I own MS VC ++ and tried to use it to duplicate some of the examples in the book. I couldn't get past page 34 because the code snippets would simply not compile.
In short, I would look elsewhere if you are looking to fast track your way to VC++.
