Great way to learn C, C++, and C#
The book covers all three programming languages. I have been programming in C under Unix. The book provides over 800 tips that examine all aspects of C. I used the 400+ tips on C++ to get up and running with classes, exceptions, ... I'm moving to C# next.The C++ compiler on the CD is great.

A brilliant book, but more depth would have made it perfect
This book covers C and C++ programming in a topic by topic fashion (each topic is about half a page). It starts out with C then C++ then finally C#. By far the best coverage is of C then C++ then C#. I suspect that the book was ment to be used in class rooms for teaching C, and I believe that you can actually learn C and C++ using this book and make programs that works but the topic organisation makes this book even better for the working (windows) programmer. All OS dependent examples are for windows and as a topic manual it is quite good (MSDN is in my oppinion awfull when it comes to topics). It is one of the books I read on a regular basis when I need an idea for something I don't know or remember how to do. For C# the book is useless I wish that Jamsa would have included more MFC and managed .NET instead of C#, C# and the .NET framework is too massive for a book like this and all you get is an intro to the language (nothing usefull). He might as well have included Java :-) Put in another 1000 pages and make it cover advanced subjects also and it would be the only book you need. Overall for beginners to intermediate it is a good learners book for advanced programmers it is a good reference book

Sloppy merchandising
The only reason I bought this book was for the compiler. I'd already tried to download and run the free Borland C++ 5.5 compiler with no success. The book refers to the enclosed compiler as being a Turbo C++ Lite. So I bought the book thinking the enclosed compiler would be in a nice, easy to install package, much like Matlab, Autocad, etc. I soon found out that the enclosed compiler was actually the free download of Borland C++ version 5.5 which I can't run on my computer. Very lazy and sloppy packaging. I expect better from a PhD/MBA. I'm thoroughly pissed.
