Hi,

I need to make my c++ knowldge deeper as it is, I've got the third
edition of the Lipman book but I have been told that the latest
revision is a tremendous improvement from the one I've got(but I don't
know if the meaning is that is much better organized or the content is
a lot better).
Can please somebody suggest if it would be worth to buy the latest
revision or the third edition is still ok?

Regards,

Shezad

forth Edition looks more comfortable.

The 4th edition is a complete rewrite. The two books are substantially
different in content and dramatically different in style.

Just a small question to everyone:

We read C++ primer during our college days and it used to put us of
completely. We never understood C++ reading lipman
Later on we got to know that this book should not be prescribed for
beginners whoo do not know anything about C++.

After our college days I have not touched lipman. I think I have the
very fat edition (2nd edition probably).

So,
What is your frank opinion about C++ primer ? Would you guys consider
it as a very good book for intermediate level guys ?
If yes then I will go ahead and buy the latest edition of C++. I need
to buy one hence the request.
If you guys feel there is any other book which is very practicle and
hands on. Kindly refer them as well.

Sorry Shezad I just gatecrashed into your thread with my request.
I felt it was relevent to the thread hence my message.

Thanks guys.

No, the 2nd edition was pre-Standard. Hell, it talked about templates
as a future enhancement. Specifically, the 2nd edition was written to
the AT&T 2.0 spec. Trust me. I still have my copy.

The 3rd edition is huge and difficult to use as a primer. The 4th
edition is also huge, but IMO is a much better primer than the 3rd
edition.

The 4th edition, yes.

Accelerated C++, if I may be so bold as to recommend it.

I've always been partial to "How to Program C++" by Dietel & Dietel
especially if you've had C exposure.
