C++ Standard Library provides a set of usual classes as good as interfaces which severely magnify a core C++ language. The library, however, is not self-explanatory.

On my second reading, I’m still finding more gems in this book. Up to now, it was almost impossible to find any comprehensive material on the standard library. All one could find was the odd article about some aspect of the library, or rather specialized books about STL. Nicolai has fixed that particular problem once and for all.The book reminds of Richard Stevens’s famous UNIX books. Incredibly complete, incredibly detailed, incredibly accurate, and a great tutorial and reference at the same time. And, best of all, it’s just as accessible to someone who is not a real expert as it is for someone who’s been using C++ for years.This is one of the *very* few books that get a spot on my top shelf. A classic that I will come back to again and again.

I so wanted to like this book, but I take a $50 book purchase very seriously. Every time I try to look something up in this book, I end up finding the answer in The C++ Programming Language (3rd Ed, by Stroustrup) instead. That bums me out. I wanted a reference for the STL that I could pull out while coding and get the answer with no digging. This book ain’t it. Also, I read the first couple of chapters straight through and they struck me as weak. There seemed to be selective assumptions about what the reader should know. I’m an experienced coder and I had trouble figuring out what the author was really trying to get across, or why. I guess I’m used to the efficient, logical, concept-packed prose (and expertise) of Stroustrup, Kernighan/Ritchie, and Meyers. Even so, I will continue to give this book a chance and will edit my review if I find that I was too quick to judgment.

Okay, here’s my update. I have returned the book to amazon. The title should be STL Primer, as in a breezy INTRODUCTION to the STL. It is a reference only for beginners (in my view). The examples are uniformly simplistic and there is little depth to the discussions. Even when some potential pitfall or complexity is mentioned, the matter is dropped right there. This all sounds negative, but I don’t mean to be. I was simply misled by the huge number of (inaccurate) raves. This is NOT a reference of any depth. It certainly is not a “must have”. It may be a decent tutorial for someone new to STL.

Mr. Josuttis offers in this book an amazingly comprehensive guide to the often bewildering C++ standard library. I originally purchased this book looking for more STL information, and I was certainly not disappointed in that respect. STL descriptions account for nearly half of the book volume. However, as non-STL questions arose, I found myself digging into this book time and time again (questions about auto_ptr, string class, allocators, etc).If you’re a C++ programmer and do not already own a current (circa 1999 or later) library reference, do yourself and your code a favor and grab a copy of this book. C++ is an extremely scalable language. It’s easy to use only knowing a small subset of the language and library features. Having a reference such as this one ensures that you’ll be less likely to accidentally duplicate work that has already been done for you in the standard library.As far as book organization goes, I’d say that the book does lean more towards “reference” rather than “tutorial”, but I never believe a book that claims to be both anyhow. Anyone interested in a pure tutorial should buy a book specifically written with that in mind. For more experienced programmers not needing quite as much hand holding, however, the book does work as advertised.Overall, I can’t really recommend this book more enthusiastically.

The book is subtitled “a tutorial and reference”. Let it be said that it is more of a reference. There are several concise examples that explain how to use the features, but the writing style is fairly terse. This book is an excellent supplement to books such as Bjarne Stroustrup’s “The C++ Programming Language”. The discussion about how to use the standard library is more detailed than other books. The reason why I am giving this book five stars is because it is the best reference on the standard library that I have found anywhere. The examples are both minimal and complete — just enough code to explain how the features should be used. I wouldn’t say that this is a book you should have on your shelf — it belongs on your desk.

If you are learning C++ or an experienced programmer, this book is for you.The book takes off where a lot of introductory texts leave off, and explains what is going on with library function calls etcetera.Not only does the book explain the calls, it also gives a history on C++ and describes the development of the library and language, so AT LAST you understand WHY certain things are implemented the way they are.Of particular note is the excellent (and understandable)coverage of STL and templates which will finally allow the reader to produce better more flexible code, utilising techniques that are properly explained for a change!This is not just a book it is hardcovered empowerment, the subtitle A tutorial and reference describes it well!

Be careful buying this used, or even in a bookstore! At my university bookstore this title is unwrapped and you can open the back cover and see the registration code that cannot be used twice, the code could easily be stolen by another student.
Buy it at Amazon(new only, not from ‘other sellers’) or directly from ESRI(as my Geography professor always recommends due to hearing stories about students not being able to use the software after someone stole the code). Best price at Amazon though. This title takes longer to get than many Amazon titles, so plan ahead by about a week and a half at least.

I used this book to learn the GIS software 4 years ago and found it so useful that I continue to keep it at my desk as a reference book. I agree that it is extremely well written, easy to follow, and contains loads of helpful hints. The tutorials start off basic enough for any novice, but cover the most advanced GIS analysis topics by the end of the book. The book emphasizes both pragmatic data collection and analysis, as well as creating attractive presentable maps. I recently upgraded to ArcMap 9.3 and bought the accompanying tutorial workbook, which has some valuable upgrades of its own. I would strongly recommend this series to anyone interested in learning the ArcMap GIS software (and let’s face it, ESRI is the only GIS software developer for all intents and purposes), whether it is for classroom or personal use!

This is probably one of the most best written software documents I’ve encountered. Descriptions of procedures are written in painful clear detail. Definitely well worth it for the new Arc View user.

I found this to be an excellent book to teach the Arc family of products. I have learned a lot. The work assignments in Chapter 5 are confusing because the author doesn’t tell the reader what projections are to be used. Took about four hours to decipher the intent that could have been resolved with two words. The ESRI web site has changed since the book was written and there are other minor frustrations. I hope that in the next edition someone who is new to the GIS field goes through the book and provides feedback to the author on what doesn’t work. However, all in all, it is an excellent, though slightly flawed resource.

A clear step-by-step guide to GIS. The tutorials are very clear, however, the instructions for the assignments at the end of the tutorial is not so clear. If your professor using the book’s rubric to grade the paper, be careful because the rubric is so detailed and specific, but the instruction for the assignments are not–just remember to label your maps and label where the data source is from–e.g. Census 2000 from Pittsburg, Pennsyvlania.
