Summary: Simply superb
Review: This book is marvelous! I bought this book thinking it would be exactly what it was: for idiots. However, after I purchased it, I found that it was an excellent resource to assist in learning C++. Not only does Snaith explain how the code works, he explains what it is used for, and tells you what not to do, not just what to do. I recommend that you read the online portion of the book, and you'll see that the book is quality.

Summary: Great book for beginners
Review: This is a great book for beginners. It covers most of the
subjects in C++ in a simple manner and plain English. It
gives an idea and useful overview about C++ programming
concept. This book covers inheritence, multiple inheritence,
polymorphism and object oriented programming chapters aslo.
However it doesn't cover templates,exceptions,STL,debugging,
etc. even as an overview. There are four additional bonus
chapters in CDROM like advanced file handling and reusable
code. I warmly recommend this book for beginners but they
will need a second book also for further study.

Summary: Clever, cunning, and creative!
Review: This is an excellent book to assist in the understanding of C++. I went back and forth on ordering this at a bookstore, and ended up waiting a week for it. I think it was worth every hour.I first discovered this book online, reading reviews, and reading the sample pages (I do recommend reading them). I think that this is the only "how-to" book for C++ that actually takes time to introduce new topics. I bought "C++ for Dummies" a few days before and was not impressed with it, and "Visual C++ 6 for Dummies" was even worse, only explaining how to use the wizards to make programs. If you seriously wan to learn C++, whether for school, or for fun, I think this book is a necessary supplement in learning it efficiently. I was very impressed with it.

Summary: Very good for the beginner, intermediate, or expert.
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever partaken in reading. It is sufficient for all user levels: the beginner, the mediocre, or the expert coder. This book is more than just a "manual" or similar, it's a "tool" to learn or enhance one's skills programming in C++.
