- vram22 10y agoYes, I got that book a while ago, soon after it came out, and really liked the approach. A very different, and to my mind, sensible approach to teaching the language to beginners. Andrew Koenig was/is a C and C++ guru from a long time. Was at Bell Labs, IIRC, and worked with some of the original people who worked on C++, maybe, and worked on it himself. I've read part of his C Traps and Pitfalls book, too - also good.
- petercooper 10y agoTheir Ruminations on C++ book formed out of Koenig's columns is also excellent, if anyone is looking for an extra read. I have it on my desk right now :-)
- partycoder 10y agoHow would you compare it to, for instance, Meyers' series of books?
- petercooper 10y agoMeyers is undoubtedly the master. Koenig certainly gives his own slant on things though and is enjoyable to read.
