C++: Effective Object-Oriented Software Construction : Concepts, Principles, Industrial Strategies, and Practices Subsequent Edition

This text is definitely classroom quality, covering almost all aspects of the language, both theoretically and practically, and the books size reflects this. It doesn't cover the STL at all, but to do so would have made the text too large. The best thing I liked about the book is that it discusses object oriented design concepts (as pertaining to C++) very well.

Nine book though it was used one the quality of this is superior.whoever used it take prior care when using the same. Used pencil for marking.Thats nice.

this is *the* C++ book that got me thru my programming assignments. from concepts to code, from design to implementation, the author detailed everything very clearly and thoroughly, excellent job! this book is evenly-paced and highly readable with golden nuggets everywhere. before getting this book, i used to be lost in lectures and assignments, confused about concepts of pointers etc, but after carefully studying this gem, i could truly understand the essence of C++ and write solid, high quality code. to sum it up, i have three words for you: GO BUY IT!!

I have a lot of books on the subject of C++ (all big players included) and I may say that this one is surely among the best ! Mr. Dattatri tells you everything you should know in serious but understandable manner. His experience, hard earned wisdom and thorough knowledge, all diplayed and selflessly shared, gave me a lot of pleasure and thought me a lot! This is the way textbooks should be written ! There are hundreds of books on the subject but do not mess around ! Buy this one ! You will read it several times! Not because it is undecipherable like Stroustrup, but because of pleasure and fun of learning C++ and OO way of thinking ! Indispensable book in every respect !

It's twenty years old now, so that's obviously a problem for those wanting information on C++ 11 and 17. But the book is excellent in explaining C++'s implementation of Object Oriented programming. Thorough and excellent. One of my favorite all-time C++ books.

Yes nothing is perfect in this world, yes this book has some typos, yes there is still a room for improvement...But as a software developer who has worked and is currently working on a large scale C++ COM, Database, Networking etc. projects here is what I think about this book: 1. This book shouldn't be considered as a beginner's book, however I would recommend buying it as a second one 2. Almost no water added !! 3. The best multiple inheritance pictural explanation around 4. The author presents a couple of very powerful and useful concepts in a clear and understandable form 5. Templates are very well presentedI would also say that after some real working experience you would start to appreciate this book more and more. In time it should help you to build a solid base for a good object-oriented software construction.-Vitaly

I will keep it short. Even if you are not familiar with C++ and are merely beginning OOP, you can use this book to learn a lot about object oriented software construction. The author does an excellent job of demonstrating his point in C++, Java, Eiffel, and Smalltalk. This is a great book. No doubt about it.

After having read quite a few C++ books, including the big players(Stroustroup, Lippman, Meyers), I have to say this book is a must read. The diagrams are awesome, allowing you to grasp some pretty hardcore concepts easily. A complete beginner would not find this book easy to follow, I suggest that you dont use this book as your entry into the C++ world. I like the focus on design rather than pure syntax, it makes a refreshing change.

Best book on C++ and OO I've ever read. Manages to walk the line between teaching an in depth understanding of the C++ language while at the same time providing instruction in solid OO principles. Came highly recommended by other reviewers online and I support all of those positive reviews.
