To be a successful C++ programmer you will need at least three books: A textbook, a language reference book, and a quick reference guide.
What you are reading is a textbook. I put a lot of thought and work into it and as a result I feel it will serve your needs as a textbook very well. However, it is not a language reference book or a quick reference guide to the C++ language. No textbook on the C++ language can be everything to everybody. The C++ standard is over 700 pages long. This book would be huge, and a huge waste of your time, if I tried to include in it everything contained in the standard. Also, when you are in the heat of programming and you just want to quickly see how to declare a class or write a for loop this book will not be the best place to turn.
If you are reading this book you have in your hands a great textbook. In the reference section below I have listed several reference books and quick reference guides I think you will find them very helpful. If it is listed in the reference section I have personally used it and wholeheartedly recommend it.
