Not for newbies though an interesting read
Not a terrible book but my opinion is it is not for beginning programmers. I found this edition in a bargain bin and chose it for its focus on modeling of finance-associated object types and transactions. It has some detailed examples that are interesting and helpful. Some programming concepts do appear confused or in error but they are not difficult to discern. Will be useful for intermediate programmers. A CD with example source code would be helpful. Developing the book to suit the needs of a professional audience may be another idea. The cartoons are inconsequential and a waste of space. The diagrams are helpful. Would not recommend this as a self-study text to inexperienced programmers unless more comprehensive and accurate main text is utilized. Taken the way it as an introductory text it has a severe shortage of examples.

A down to earth introduction to Object-Oriented and C++
Is amazing what this book can teach you i am a procedural programming basically C, and I have read a lot of C++ Books and OO methodology, but i have not found a book that shows me this new world so clearly until i read this piece of art. The book concepts makes you really understand C++ and OO methodologies. If you are new to programming or new to Objects and C++ this is the book to start.

Not for beginners
Had a very hard time with this book. Not good at introducing new topics clearly. Too limited in scope while providing too much depth in some areas that are not clearly explained.
