Since I am trying to constantly prove that I do know C++ well, I picked this book during my C++ book buying craze. I did read this book and while it doesn't make any serious mistakes related to C++, I just don't feel this book is relevant.First of all, the authors have clearly not given any thought to what their target audience would be. The level of presentation swings wildly from absolute basics (What is a class?) to fairly advanced subjects. Just as I found too many elementary questions in the book, someone less prepared would be surprised by a number of "advanced" topics. While this is understandable for a free on-line document, it doesn't render well in a rather costly book. Same applies to the annoying 'New!' labels marking new or updated topics. Again, this makes sense in a frequently changing on-line document, but it looks ridiculous in a printed book.The C++ design and coding style presented feels fairly solid and in that sense I can recommend this book to anyone without fearing that it would teach him something objectionable. The authors do their best to stress the importance of interpretation of a base class as a contract and this is a good thing. However, there are still some questionable statements that I don't agree with:- In 9.02 the authors suggest using exceptions for error handling - all error handling. Whether it is a good thing or not is still a hotly debated topic and I would suggest to at least present the disadvantages of such an approach and alternative methods.- The authors routinely check the new operator result for NULL, which not only doesn't make much sense (per ANSI C++, new() doesn't return NULL if it cannot create an object) but also teaches a fairly bad technique.Now, imagine my surprise when, while reading a book on C++ (presumably C++ language), I ended up with a chapter on COM and then another one on CORBA. No matter how related this material may feel, it is still not C++-specific. This sudden addition feels like book padding and that aforementioned 'additional material' that was supposed to sway the users of the free version to purchase the printed book. Well, it seems to have had a completely opposite effect upon me.I fully understand the authors' desire to be rewarded for their creation (that is, the on-line C++ FAQ). However, this is not an excuse to produce a book which is essentially a rehashed version of the free material diluted with barely relevant topics. Bottom line: read the free on-line version and spend your money either on Stroustrup's "The C++ programming Language" (if you are a novice) or on Myers's "Effective C++" dilogy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book to help remember those little c++ gotchas! *by W***Z on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2012* This is a great book to have handy to refresh your C++ skills. I have taken a few C++ classes at university but nowadays code in Java for the most part. When faced with a project with C++, I thought this was a great book to have around. If you are learning C++ for the first time, maybe a bit too advanced and too little hand holding. If you want something you can quickly peek at while coding, this is a good title. If you are an advanced C++ coder, this book is not for you.If you are coming from another language and need to refresh your old C++ skills, this is the book to read and keep at your desk. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A surprisingly useful book *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014* I ordered this book just planning to use it for review prior to interviews. Instead it has turned out to be one of the most useful C++ books I've read and I have read a lot of them. It is NOT a book to learn C++ from by any means but it is similar in content to the Scott Meyers books to a scattering of various ideas. A very valuable book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/39940501-c-faqs](https://www.desertcart.at/products/39940501-c-faqs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
