Good for experienced C++ programmers only

This book is very short, 276 pages. Many reviewers like this book, because they do not to read too much.

I use this book for a corporate training class in Manhattan. It is OK if you already know C++.

The book is useless if you are a beginner. If you type the program with any compiler, the way it is written in the book, it does not work. Then all you get is frustration.

Deitel is the only C++ book, that is industrial strength. It takes you step by step, 1400 pages.

Skip this one. Do not waste your money.
