Negative Positive
Title: A disappointing tutorial
Review: Might be recommended for college students but not recommended for professionals who already know C or Pascal. I found this book to be neither a good tutorial (see "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" by Jesse Liberty instead) nor a good book for advanced topics (see "Effective C++" by Scott Meyers). Too much time is spent on style, and the discussion of exceptions is very inadequate.
Is the review positive or negative?
