Customer Review: This book does not even mention the use for some items that are integral to correct C++ usage, such as multidimensional vectors. It is not the book you will go to to find answers. It could be good as a primer on STL.
Customer Review: I have just about every book on Objective-C that you can find. Mainly because I love books. The two that I find most helpfull as a non-programmer who is self-teaching are this little gem and 'Programming in Objective-C'.

Customer Review: My older references are in storage and I thought it would be neat to have a c++ ref on my kindle. It says reference and the reviews are good, so I bought it.

Customer Review: O'Reilly Pocket Books are known for being thorough, concise, and clear, and this one is no different. I have half a dozen on my bookshelf over a variety of subjects, and they come in handy for that occassion when you want a specific answer in short order.
Customer Review: First of all, it shoud be said that the C language is so widely used it's a shame that good and updated books no longer appears on the market. This book is an exception. To my knowledge, it's the only book that covers the latest additions from the last ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard.
