Editorial Review:
Amazon.com Review:
This classic work shows a care and understanding of C++ that only Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer of the language, can achieve. It also conveys the punctilious and sometimes suffocating detail that only Stroustrup would desire to communicate. The novice programmer will have difficulty distinguishing between the essential and the dispensable material. However, experienced C++ programmers will appreciate the reference manual portion of the book, which contains an exact definition of C++ that even numerous examples cannot express. Stroustrup's book has several chapters on classes and the reference manual component of the book contains the complete grammar of classes. This is a book that every experienced C++ programmer needs to own.
Product Description:
com/~bs/) have been added. The result is complete, authoritative coverage of the C++ language, its standard library, and key design techniques. Based on the ANSI/ISO C++ standard, The C++ Programming Language provides current and comprehensive coverage of all C++ language features and standard library components.
For example:
abstract classes as interfaces class hierarchies for object-oriented programming templates as the basis for type-safe generic software exceptions for regular error handling namespaces for modularity in large-scale software run-time type identification for loosely coupled systems the C subset of C++ for C compatibility and system-level work standard containers and algorithms standard strings, I/O streams, and numerics C compatibility, internationalization, and exception safety
Bjarne Stroustrup makes C++ even more accessible to those new to the language, while adding advanced information and techniques that even expert C++ programmers will find invaluable.

I recommend this book to any level of C++ programmer, from rookie to expert, with the disclaimer that the material is likely over the head of a C++ beginner...but it's a great reference none the less. While it may be a challenge to understand for someone without a lot of C++ experience, this book is a comprehensive overview of C++ and object oriented (OO) programming in general. The text isn't easy to get through the first time beacuse the author assumes that the reader is comfortable with various functions and concepts. Sometimes functions or ideas are used in examples that aren't fully explained until later in the text. Some reviewers don't like Bjarne's writing style but I didn't find it to be a problem... it's a C++ programming learning tool, not a novel.
Bottom line: If you are a C++ programmer, you should probably own or have access to this book.

I have been programming for 6 years... and this is the first book that is not for dummies.
I am really glad to find it.

The C++ Programming Language seems like the most thorough documentation of C++ overall. It's written by the guy who is basically the creator of C++. I tend to have a lot of respect for him. This book has a crazy lot of information in it. It seems well organized but very dense. If you were to learn it all, I would be impressed.

awesome book,the best c++ book I've read, the shipping/deliver rates are really good, and the book rules.

What else can I say about the book made by the man himself. Well since I didn't say anything yet, I guess I better get started. (I admit that was bad).
I agree that you need previous knowledge of c++, but if people are going through the c++ books and realizing that they are just repeats of old knowledge you already know, then this book does the least of your concerns.
This book does present you with SOME past information, however it seems to present it much more difficult and ends and starts out with new information much faster than all the other books. And believe me, with all the pages in this book, there seems to be alot to learn about this book. Overall, I'd recommend it to any continuing C++ programmers. 5 out of 5.
