Book Reviews of The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition (3rd Edition)
Book Review: If you want to learn C++ don't buy this book
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a tough review to write because I have great respect for the author. This book is totally confusing for someone new to C++ and once I had learned the language I seldom find anyrthing of value as far as refrence. If you want to learn C++ get a primer and use Acclerated by Koening and Moo. That book will get you up to speed and give you results quickly in C++.
I really would like to know how to make this book useful. Features are explained then it seems that the same information is rehashed over and over with minor vartiations.
I just try to read the book and try to learn somthing and I seem to rehash and rehash the same points or that it seems to me that the book is disorganized. I find that other books will expain thing better and if you have gone through other books you don't need this one.
Summary of The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition (3rd Edition)
com/~bs/) have been added. The result is complete, authoritative coverage of the C++ language, its standard library, and key design techniques. Based on the ANSI/ISO C++ standard, The C++ Programming Language provides current and comprehensive coverage of all C++ language features and standard library components.For example:
abstract classes as interfaces class hierarchies for object-oriented programming templates as the basis for type-safe generic software exceptions for regular error handling namespaces for modularity in large-scale software run-time type identification for loosely coupled systems the C subset of C++ for C compatibility and system-level work standard containers and algorithms standard strings, I/O streams, and numerics C compatibility, internationalization, and exception safety
Bjarne Stroustrup makes C++ even more accessible to those new to the language, while adding advanced information and techniques that even expert C++ programmers will find invaluable.
This classic work shows a care and understanding of C++ that only Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer of the language, can achieve. It also conveys the punctilious and sometimes suffocating detail that only Stroustrup would desire to communicate. The novice programmer will have difficulty distinguishing between the essential and the dispensable material. However, experienced C++ programmers will appreciate the reference manual portion of the book, which contains an exact definition of C++ that even numerous examples cannot express. Stroustrup's book has several chapters on classes and the reference manual component of the book contains the complete grammar of classes. This is a book that every experienced C++ programmer needs to own.
