Title: THE C++ reference book
Review: This book, written by Bjarne Stroustrup (the guy who invented C++), is the definitive reference. It is a compact, dense, authoritative reference for the C++ language.It is not a handholding tutorial. It won't explain what a compiler is, or feed you the basic topics one nibble at a time. Although it can be used by C++ neophytes, it is aimed more at intermediate to advanced C++ programmers.On the other hand, if you are a beginner and like reading a compressed, no-nonsense text, this book may be for you.This book has been on my desk for a long time, and I have periodically referred to it.
