 Simply one of the best December 6, 2006
Venugopal Gudimetla (Lafayette, Indiana)

The author proposes different ways(good and bad ways) of coding or solving a problem( design problem) and presents the best practise and explains beautifully why it is a best practice. His explanations are entertaining and like a mystery novel gripping, you won't put it down untill finished.
Programming experience in C++ is assumed but a novice too can appreciate his book. My suggestion is, if you are a novice, read and grasp the concepts and syntax using Books like Stanley Lipmann's C++ primer, then jump to this book.
This book is indispensible for a C++ interview, make it a point to read this book before an interview. Various concepts of C++ are dealt with like const pointers, when to go for template class design and when to go for a inheritance class design, what is an interface, when one should use virtual destructors and when not to ( not many books say why not to ), operator overloading, the list goes on and on...
A classic December 5, 2006

This book is a classic. The 55 advises can certainly be found in other books but the strength of this book is in how the author walks you through intelligent explanations on why it is wise to follow the advise. Beside, the writing style of the author makes the reading of this book as enjoyable as reading a good novel.
This is highly recommended as you will learn while having fun.
Must own if you are a c++ engineer October 4, 2006

This book touches many aspects of the C++ programming language. Even you are an experienced engineer, you can learn a lot of things from this book and write more solid code. I regret that I didn't buy and read this book sooner.
THE book next to Bjarne's for C++ October 2, 2006

A really good book where there is something to learn in every other example and chapter even if you consider yourself a master C++ programmer with years of experience. Besides reading the book, I happened to attend Scott's live training on Design patterns and Embedded C++ both of which were great experience.
amazing book August 29, 2006
Lcuas G. Utterback
this book is probably the best book I have read on the intricacies of c++. It opened my eyes to the many faults I have as a programmer.
