Pretty Good, but should change the title....(why?), April 25, 2000
Reviewer: dave_japan (see more about me) from University of Tsukuba, Japan

After years of being a C++ programmer, read quite a lot of books (about 20, I think)... I considered this one as one of my favourite, that I usually refer to when I have some problem.

However, this book is definitely not-for-beginner. So, some of the reader might be misleading by/confuse with its title. The writers had stated this clearly on the back cover, which said "for developers new to C++" and in the preface, which said "This book is intended as a first book on C++; it is NOT intended as a first book on programming!" (However, it's a Primer for "C++" not for "Programming" anyway :-)

One big thing that made this book different from most of the C++ introductory books is, this book provided a lot of "real-world" program examples. Here, I really mean "real world", the program that you can really "use" (maybe after make them a bit more advanced/complete), like the text query system. While all other books provided some little codes to illustrate the points. Ok, that's better for those who know nothing, someone who come to C++ "from scratch", something like that... But after you finished it, you still might not get the idea of how to put them together , unless there are any bigger program to illustrate the idea.

Note to those who are new to programming : Read other book first, so you won't blame on a good book like this.

Note to everyone who had been misleaded by this book's title : Make sure you've read the back cover and the preface of any book before buying it, if you can... (if you can't, you have to try your luck..., good luck for you then :-)

This has to be THE classic book on C++, April 26, 2000

This book is to C++ what K&R's C programming language is to C. Both books are not for novices to C or C++, so any harsh comments on this book from beginners should not deter intermediate to advanced C++ programmers from reading it. This book is concise, logical, to the point, and no extraneous, redundant explanations. Just like what K&R's C is. Through careful reading, I was able to follow 95-99% of the material, which is much better percentage than I was doing with Stroupstrup's (maybe less than 75%). If you are a C++ practitioner going for job interviews, each page in this book is a gem, clearly written,concise interview questions. I was programming in C++ for 4 years before I thoroughly read this book, and I feel like I know everything about C++ at this point (ok, maybe 9 out of the scale of 1-10)

Devedzic moze da bude dobar predavac (mada je meni Vlajic bolji) ali mu je koncept ispita VEEELIKI promasaj bas iz razloga sto ne dobiju svi zadatke na istom nivou. Trebalo bi da se zna koliko dobro treba student da se spremi za sesticu ... sto je kod Vlajica i te kako poznato.

Ko dodje do 4. godine i posle prvog odslusanog semestra moze da mi kaze da je Devedzic bolji od Vlajica ... ma prebicu ga
