It's hard to find a good c++ book for beginner programmers. Most C++ books assume that you are fimilar with c but this book doesn't required you to know c, it guide to step by step from gound up. I'm teaching myself VC++ using this book. Recommended to all beginner C++ programmers! Ivor Horton's "Beginning Visual C++ 6" is all highly recommended.

This book is very good for beginners who are intending to learn C++ or for experienced guys who just want to brush up their C++ skills.. the only con i can think of this book is the author should have put in some exercises and their solutions in addition to the illustrative examples so that it caters to the more inquisitive audiences... all in all this book covers all aspects of C++ and you will surely get your moneys worth with this one.

This book is a good one for people who has never before programmed in C++. For those who has done that, I would not recommend this book. Then you should read C++: The Complete Reference instead! The explanations of templates, namespaces, exception handling and operator overloading are a little too simple for me. Also, the last part of the book, The Standard C++ Library, breaks the tutorial form of the book into a pure reference form!!! One of the programs has a very nast bug in it that should have been checked. It completely crashed my system, and I spent the rest of the day figuring out what went wrong!

Very easy to read. Easy to understand explanations of difficult concepts in most situations. Quite comprehensive. Nice big margin to scribble notes in. Useful codes samples. Good price. A good starting text or support text.

With a first glance I could capture atleast 3 errors from the pg #312 to #314 in the chapter Beyond the basic. But I found very simple explainations of concepts like template and namespaces. Good book to understand concepts, may need little tweak in for the example code.

Fun to read. Clearly written. Great annotation of concepts in the margins. Pretty colors. Comprehensive, detailed, concise. Excellent index. Wish it had a workbook with examples. Would have given it a full 5 stars except for the fact that it's a bit heavy to lug around -- so: ****1/2*.

The book is simple & easy to follow ... Is a good starter for those who want to have a look on C++

A certain program listing (30.2) wont compile with my (Borland) turbo c++ compiler. Other than that, good book.

Well organised and appealing print.Examples are great. One of the best books on c++. Reasonably priced.Concepts are very well explained.While most other books are vague and make c++ appear like a monster (or do not deal with the difficult parts ), this book makes it interesting.

This book was invaluable in my experience with C++. I recommend it to anyone trying to learn C++.
