OK book December 27, 2007
* It's an OK book, the content is good but the way that content is presented is poor.
* There are some typos.
* The author still uses the void main() which is not that big of a deal but its old fashioned.
May be you should focus on those tings more (Joyce) if you ever going to make another release.

I am not feeling this is a text book. It feels like I am reading a notes from a junior student. I would strongly recommend not to buy this book. If you are trying to become a guru of C++, you should search for other books.
Worst Text September 28, 2004

I have not seen a text book worst than this. It appears like some one collected material from here and there and put together. Poor grammer and lack of Language flow will misguide your ability to understand the subject. And it will be too late by the time you realize. It should not be called as text book, it is simply collection of notes by students sitting in a class.
Unfortunately, I know the writer/teacher and currently attending her lecture, I must apologize for being unfair to her. I have decided to use other texts like bible references. I would strongly recommend to land on different planet if you want to master in C++
Very incomplete and boring July 28, 2004

This book is too incomplete, even for just focusing on OOP with C++. I have another book which I also find inadequate, however while that book only diverts about 3 chapters to OOP, it does a better job of covering it then this entire book.
OOP Using C++ focuses too much on tutorials and spends little time explaining the concepts that the book introduces. Many examples at the end of each chapter take up several pages because the author steps you through every step of creating the example (once should have been enough... after the first chapter the user should not need to be reminded to "Open a new file in your C++ editor and type the statements that include the header files you need..."). The examples used in the book are all very similar and you quickly get tired of typing in the customer's last name...
The book has too much useless text and it is often hard to find a piece of useful information. It is basicly a programming novel. It covers the absolute basics of OOP without going into enough detail about how things really work. This is not a good thing, even for beginners, because if you do not learn how to use OOP well, you'll never write good code....
This is a truly boring and useless programming book that I regret ever purchasing. If you are a beginner, DO NOT GET THIS BOOK, it will break your C++ style and you might find it hard to adapt to what is considered "good programming style" at a later stage.
I recommend C++ Primer, it is much more detailed, costs less and covers much more C++ for beginners, including OOP.
 Very Poor in Some Spots - Several Typos February 18, 2004

I am a BASIC programmer, and although I find some of her instruction good, there are SEVERAL typos, and the exercises at the end of each chapter do not necessarily match the content. Kind of poorly put together.
