Summary: Not for the Beginner / Advanced
Comment: This book was required for the first semester programming class. Now I was able to understand 'cause I was in CS and had been programming for 10 years. But the history majors in my class were crying cause this book couldn't really explain the basic concepts. many of the intro to programming classes are core classes in Univs in US. So, a guy who's in CS, I assume wouldn't have any problem cause it's way too low level for him. Whereas those who really need this book..Art majors, or those who want to learn what programming in C++ is..will have a tough time..
I wouldn't recommend this book..cause it's too poor for a guy who knows C++ and too tough for those who don't.. They haven't been able to get that balance.
Another interesting point I was able to observe was that this text gives all source code example with Visual C++ in mind. Most of the Univs in US prefer to teach this course on Unix platforms, and so a book more relevent to Unix would be appropriate.
I give it 2 stars, cause it isn't all that bad a book that doesn't make sense. I still go back to it sometimes to look up the syntax and some basic stuff..But nothing more than that.

Summary: Works well when accompanied by a talented instructor
Comment: This book was required for a C++ course I attended at the local community college. I had been doing some minor programming in other languages but felt I needed at solid foundation in C++. This book would have been a difficult place to start. However, thanks to a talented and very patient instructor, the entire class did well. I would have given at least a four star rating but this Addison/Wesley paperback was very poorly published. Pages fell out daily throughout the semester. Have some tape and glue handy.

Summary: C++ Student
Comment: This isn't a great book as I thought it was. The begining chapters were pretty much detailed and explained program examples step by step. Starting on chapter 6 till the end of the book, there were few step by step explanations and the author for some reason assumed that brief explanations were sufficient.
