Summary: A well thought out Book
Comment: I am a self taught programmer. When I first read some of the reviewes I was initially discouraged to buy it. Now that I have bought this book, I have no regrets. It is a well thought out book with plenty of examples to try out. As regards EzWindows, though I haven't yet laid my hands on it but by reading through the texts I do not find it that bad.Some reviewer have complained of declaring variables in the middle of the program! but by hind sight that is not only perfectly valid but I believe it is a good method in coding. Instead of going back thousand of lines to the begining of the prog to find a variable, it is far more easier to locate it where it is declared provided it is well commented there! I like the history bits in the book to be pretty smart. Not a bad book either for the beginner or for the experienced.

Summary: Good book for C++ design
Comment: Would not suggest the book to a C++ novice, I found it very useful being a full time C++ programmer.
Rating: 1
Summary: Run away, Run fast.
Comment: I rate this book 1 out of five stars ONLY because i cannot rate it lower than 1 out of five.
I bought this book because it was the required text we were using for a c++ class in college. Honestly, this has got the be the worst computer-related book I've ever laid hands on. I don't know how this book can sell, let alone have any good reviews.
For the people who rated this book good, claiming it isnt for newbies, and teaches you how to design c++ program properly. Dont listen to them. I consider myself fairly computer literate. Ive had experience with several languages, and I am an active Linux user, in which i write perl and bash scripts often. This book is still confusing as ever. And I thought some of the Linux HOWTO's were written poorly. Not compared to this book. The author writes in an extremely technical, bland way. He uses functions in his source and doesnt explain them until 3 chapters later. He constantly uses poor coding techniques, by declaring variables in the middle of the program.
If you don't beleive what everyone else said, listen to this.
If you buy this book, you will be wishing you hadnt. Don't waste your time. There are many better books out there that not only claim to show you c++ program design, but actually do in a real manner. At this point im not sure if cohoon was actually serious about writing a book, or wanted to torture and scare people away from learning c++.
(hes probably a java developer)
I suggest buying "The C++ Programming Language" Its much better written, and is written by the creator of the C++ language himself.
