"Do not try to learn C++ from this book. But get a copy and read it through when you have the basics down. Valuable advice is hidden throughout the book."
"I've read the first, second, and third editions of this book. (Before I gave up my evil ways and switched to Java.) The most concise thing to say about the language can be summarized by placing the three volumes on the shelf next to each other. That makes it clear how much the scope of the language has expanded over time (approximately doubling on each edition). It's a sign of how tricky language design is -- Stroustrop was essentially forced to add some rather byzantine constructs over time to patch up non-obvious holes in the language that only emerged as it was more widely adopted. (For example, the hideous const_cast, static_cast, dynamic_cast, and the dangerously omnipotent reinterpret_cast.) The result is a language that had bloated out beyond its ideal simplicity into a tangle of syntax and semantics that early compilers couldn't even figure out.
With respect to the book itself, it's clearly written by a language designer, rather than a language user. It is not organized in a way to either teach the language or be a useful reference book to keep on your desk. But if you're implementing a compiler for C++ (may Thoth have mercy on your soul), then this is the place to start.
That said, it's as close to authoritative as it's possible to come, and it contains a lot of very valuable information. But what did really interest me, as I read it, are Stroustrop's thoughts on language design, objectives, and his justifications for why certain language features were introduced. (As ugly as some of them are, they are all there for a reason.) It's also an interesting case study in how good intentions can go awry because of unforseen consequences."
"not a book for a beginner, read it if you already know what you are reading.. the best..Author is my personalized GOD !
Well, I stick to my review more firmly now that I have almost completed (only once) this super-genius work. To be more specific about the book:
The book is source of almost everything you might want to know about the C++ or probably insight of everything to what one programming language has to offer. Although book is comprehensive, it is not a book made for you, if you are just starting with the whole idea of programming. This book surely needs a sound background in programming ( at least the conceptual side) and also needs a curious attitude of finding out the information which might not be directly useful but gives you a tequila-kick when u read. Exception handling and few other chapters are ultra-handle-with-care ones so spend more time on it , again it might not be so useful to you directly but knowing doesn't hurt in any case.
Once again, if this is your first book of object oriented Programming, better get a copy of any "C++ Primer" or any of your choice ( I just recommended that one as I have read many outstanding reviews about that one, but its ur call ).
Its confusing for you to interpret if I am actually recommending this book or the other ones by writing this review, but my whole point is to bring out the fact that if you read this book directly, you sure are going to understand most of the things but You will take many things for granted which are of great importance+must know and worth "time spent on" .
