Summary: It's like Herb Schildt, but for the masses
Comment: Herb Schildt's book; C++: The Complete Reference stayed with me throughout my second semester in C.S.. But this book is different, where Schildt's book is limited too, this book picks up. This is by far the best C++ tutorial I've read, and his approach is unorthodox. He first explains the software crisis, why Software Engineering is essentially a field that's a total mess.
He just doesn't throw code at you, he spends time gearing your mind to be a software engineer. He really dives into OOP, and he emphasizes the need for better architecting. All of which are valid. The book is unconventional; most C++ tutorial books give you code, and that's the end of it. This book teaches you fundamental Software Engineering principles while you learn the code. Again, not many C++ books have that.
Would I recommend this? Yes. It can serve as a self-study guide as well as a textbook. Versatile in purpose, writing style is clear. Anyone who is new to C++, I would definitely recommend this book.

Summary: Review of Core C++ by Victor Shtern
Comment: I recently purchased this book via Amazon.com after reading first couple chapters in a book store. Prior to reading this book i've taken a few c++ introduction classes and read part of another book assigned in this class. From a beginner's standpoint this book is awesome. It helps you to thoroughly understand the true concepts of c++ which help you build a strong back round in object oriented programming. I forgot to mention, i go to a univerisity in california. ALthough i strongly believe most of the professors teaching this subject are intelligent, they cannot or have failed to give me insight this book has given me.

Summary: This guy writes decent, but braggs so much
Comment: The book would be ten times better if the author does not put on almost every page why his books are way better than the other books. He emphasizes this too much and makes us think that his opinion only counts. The book is sort of easy to follow and has some great examples in it as well. I wish he had some exercises especially for us college students. But sometimes he gives us too much examples which is pointless like learning how to program with Global variables. The book does not come with a CD as well that should come with programs that us users should follow and show us how they work. But I only read a couple of chapters and so far the book is just plain okay. The guy just braggs and too full of himself.
