Title: Not flashy, but has the essentials
Product review: This book assumes prior knowledge of programming; preferably in C or some C++. Not for beginners. Has the merit of not being too verbose. It deals mainly with the syntax of C++. And, yes, while it certainly covers OOP, this may be why some other reviewers say it is not a good OOP book. The thing is, if you have start explaining the language at the lowest level, syntax, then this necessarily takes up space in the book.What some may notice is the lack of diagrams, whether UML or flowcharts or whatever. There is relatively little coverage of higher level design, from an OOP standpoint or any other, for that matter.Plus, unlike some more recent programming books, which use multicolours on the text pages to draw the reader's attention, this is very much a traditional text, in plain black and white. Nothing wrong with that, but some of you expecting a more "popular" style should look elsewhere. But if you knuckle down and read this text, you can benefit.
