Review: A great reference to learn the new C++11 standard - I started learning the C++ language as a complete beginner to programming using the third edition of this book. Then, as with the fifth edition, I believe a beginner can reach the end of this book and achieve a good understanding of C++. The explanations are detailed and practical. The authors take care with their exposition to help the reader. Stress is laid on good programming practice. There are many good examples of these principles used in the examples. In this edition, the exposition becomes a little terse towards the end of the book (only in the very last section on advanced applications))but with a little application things should become clear. Unlike the fourth edition, this edition has very few printing errors and these are mainly typos. The authors provide all source code for the examples both for readers with pre C++11 compilers and those with compilers for the new C++11 standard(both linux and windows) There are no answers to the exercises, but perhaps like the fourth edition a web page may spring up to provide answers. I would have liked there to have been a lengthier treatment of multiple inheritance. However,I thoroughly recommend this book both to beginners and for those experienced programmers who wish to learn the new standard.
Review: Great book - might be scary to complete beginners. - This book covers a lot of the core C++ concepts and explains things in good depth and with examples. The beginning of the book immediately introduces a class object which is probably a bit too early to do that and may scare beginners off. If you are a beginner I would recommend going through learncpp.com before reading this book. If you buy this book as a beginner, persevere past the first chapter. The first chapter will be quite daunting and maybe discouraging at times to a beginner. The chapters immediately after that are a bit easier and help to tie together some ideas introduced in the first chapter. Overall, a good and thorough book, with no mistakes in it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book, bad cover
*by G***E on 24 August 2012*

OK So this is newly published as I write this, and I haven't had that much time with it yet, but here's a preliminary review: This is not a good book for a person who has never done any programming before. I think it moves a little bit too fast for them and assumes a bit too much. It's also not a good book for someone who just wants a reference. It's a thick book and doesn't have a reference section as such with language feature summaries/quick reference. There's a brief look at the algorithms of the standard library in Appendix A that attempts to at least namecheck each one, but that's it. What this book IS excellent for is re-learning c++ if you've been away from it for a while and got rusty, or learning c++ for the first time, already knowing other languages. The c++ described here is the latest c++11 version, and the c++11 features are used throughout as far as I can tell, they're not badly-tacked on just to pretend the book is updated. It's a book that teaches you c++ 11 right from the start. There's a handy extra page of contents that shows you where, throughout the book, all the new c++11 features are introduced. Another thing is the book is high level. It doesn't try to take a bottom-up approach, teaching you what an integer is and how to add integers and then various C features and then introduce you to classes about half the way through the book like a lot of the books do. This book introduces you to classes on page 19. I mean, yes, any book teaching programming has to take a bottom-up approach really because it has to teach you things one at a time then build on them, but what I'm saying is that other books would take you through the various simple C features first and introduce what they consider to be advanced topics much later in the book; This book uses the standard library and classes throughout. [not entirely happy with this paragraph. hmm.] My thoughts at the moment are that this book is amazing. It was written FOR ME and people in my situation. I'm re-learning c++ after quite a while away from it and my old c++ books were so out of date. It's so annoying using an out of date book in conjunction with web pages about new features; It's so much better to have the book you're learning from knowing about those new features and bringing them up as they are needed/relevant. This is just the book I needed, and it's not often a book hits the spot quite the way this one is doing for me right now. The last remark I'm going to make is about the cover though. I think it's supposed to be two splashes of water that resemble the number 11 (for c++ 11). However, the way they are overlapped on the neat grey band with the title on it totally looks like someone got two dubious stains of some sort of liquid on the cover. Not a good look. Whoever designed this needs talking to.
