Free C++ How to Program , 9/e
This book suffers from all the shortcomings of the 8th edition. I was first planning on doing a detailed review, but came to realize I would be repeating exactly what many readers pointed out in the previous editions. Besides, the authors don't care much to read them. The prudent reader would do well to read the reviews of the 8th edition to have an idea of what to expect at C++ How to Program (8th Edition).
For the sake of completeness, I will point of a few things.
You are looking at the most expensive book on C++ ever written, with nothing magical to show for that $110+ price [edit: with the fall semester underway, the price is now $135+]. We know books marketed as textbooks are targeted towards students who allegedly have deep pockets (from grants, parents' savings, or loans), hence the $100+ price tag. Simply put, it says a lot that the authors take part in this robbery. In comparison, a reference such as The C++ Programming Language by Stroustrup costs $54; C++ Primer Plus, by Prata and Stephen is a meager $38, while Effective C++ by Scott Meyers sits at $35. Their content far exceeds the quality and breadth of Deitel (though they are not formatted as textbooks). Furthermore, to make the biggest profits, the Deitel series churns out new editions at $100+ every other year, so that students can't purchase used copies for cheap from their graduating friends (exercises will mismatch). These morally despicable plays on the price of this book itself justify 2 stars off.
The chief issue with this book though is the incoherent wordiness used.
I have yet to meet a professional colleague that does not regard this series as an industry standard. I still have my 2nd edition (1998) from when I first started working with C++. After working with other technologies for a while, I landed on an assignment that would require me to return to C++. I thought it prudent to acquire a more modern reference book to use as a refresher since, well, a lot has happened to technology in the last 15 years. I've been programming for upwards of 25 years now, about 10 of which actively involved C++. So with that said, on to the review:
When I purchase a programming book, I expect the examples to be clear and free of errors. I expect the material to be covered in a logical fashion. I expect to be able to read the book without it putting me to sleep. My expectations in this regard were very easily met; after 9 editions over almost 20 years, the authors know what they are doing and do a great job of it. The examples are written to use best-practices where appropriate. In many cases, this requires the reader to use a concept that has not yet been covered--in every case of this that I have seen, a quick explanation is offered with a reference to the complete coverage; these are not left to stand alone, but they are introduced early so good habits develop before bad ones. A similar mechanism is also used to link the various topics covered; a real-world example of one topic ends by touching on the next.
The latest edition met all of my expectations and is a valued addition to my library. That said, I bought it knowing what I was expecting to get. It warrants mentioning what it is not so buyers don't mistake what it is for what they might want.
