Agreed.
I had commented on the book on HN about a month ago:

Excerpt from it:
"I found that book very interesting in many regards. I had bought and read it several years ago (out of interest, though I have not worked on C++ professionally).
Stroustrup goes into a lot of details about the reasons for many design decisions in the language."
That's one of the reasons that make the book interesting. He even goes into human and cultural aspects of programming.
- scott_s 9y agoAgreed on D&E, but I think it really does need an update now.
- cbHXBY1D 9y agoI would love a book similar to C# In Depth but for C++. The book takes you on an evolutionary tour of C#s features, version-by-version. One of my favorite programming books of all time and a good read even for someone who doesn't program in C#.
- krylon 9y agoI have been using C# at work for a little while now, and I am starting to like it. Thanks for the suggestion!
- vram22 9y agoYes, it is quite some years since it was written.
