I have read it. It's very thorough and solid. I recommend it, but you might want to look for a version translated to your language.

I mean no offense, firix, but your english isn't very good. Perhaps you can read it ok, but, for instance, "how to book" doesn't really mean anything.

Well, english isn't my first language either, but I'd say something like "what is it like?"
Getting comfortable with a foreign language really is a matter of experience, though, so I suggest you keep going and just pay attention to how people use the language.

By first language I mean the language you learned to speak as a child, the language you use to talk to your family, the language you usually think in. My first language, for instance, is portuguese, as I'm brazilian.

@filipe,
Boa tarde! Como vai? Em cual cidade no Brasil mora voce? Eu viajava a Salvador e Recife para varios anos.
Regarding the post, I think firix' second post was a continuation of his first. So the sentence should have been "is very good how to book". There should have been a hyphen for "how-to" as that is a genre of book.
@firix,
I bought the book you are asking about and have been using it to teach myself C++ for the past 6 months. I am new to C++ but not very new to programming. I learned HTML, PHP, Javascript, and MySQL over the past 5 years. I have programmed in math and statistics packages for the past 20 years.
I am disappointed in Stroustrup's book. Mostly because he claims it is written for someone new to C++ but in actuality it is more advanced than a beginning level. He provides examples of concepts and techniques without a thorough explanation of what he is doing. If I did not have prior programming experience, I would have been completely lost. Some of the exercises in a chapter require material from later chapters to solve. The examples he uses in the chapters are often quite complex. The reader would need to already know a good deal of C++ to fully understand. I have not gotten the full benefit of the book for that reason. I could get more benefit by going back and re-reading some chapters after several more months of C++ programming practice.
The real question is how does it compare to other C++ books. I don't know, as I have not read any other C++ books. I have only read C++ online tutorials. Stroustrup's book is better than tutorials in that he goes into more depth in discussing a topic. The tutorials are better than his book in that the topics are more focused and concise with simpler and clearer examples.
The main benefit is that this book covers most of C++ and discusses those topics in-depth. I have not seen much discussion of graphics online, but Stroustrup has 4 chapters of material on graphics. He has 5 chapters on pointers. He has a very interesting chapter on the history and evolution of the C++ language. He claims his book is widely used in university computer science courses. I believe that. It is the type of book that a reader would need a programming professor as a resource to help explain the very complex and poorly explained areas in the book.
