A Tour of C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup

3.0

Stroustrup gives a reasonable overview of C++ in this book. I can't take points off for not taking a long time explaining each concept, since there are other books with that job, including his own. But I did have some trouble with it. In particular, the examples left a lot to be desired - he would frequently use variables like "f", rather than something clearer. Indeed, in a particularly bad case, he has both "f" and "F" as variables (one is a function, the other is a function object).

Still, it's a useful, quick trip through the language.
