Title: Only a reference to Standard C++
Review: Stroustrup's book is a nice reference to any intermediate or experienced C++ programmers. It brings you "back to the basics" with reference about Standard C++. Though, the "back to basics" descriptions are not meant for beginners, but it seems more meant for programmers to reflect the meanings of the C++ language and any tricks you have forgotten. Given the complexity of C++, this book is best suited for people who either know the language or people who need a "refresher" of the language. Though, given "real life" situations, this book may not give you "earth-shattering" abilities since API's are the core of functionality to any program nowadays and now must complement C++.
