        I didn't know that. I have an old version of the book and it would be good to get an update. Thanks for that.

            There's actually a bit of a story involving Bruce Eckel and his online offerings. During the early noughties Mr. Eckel's Thinking in Java was the preferred reference for many a Java coder, all the more because there was a freely available digital version. His website even had a page called Why do you put your books on the web? (gone now, though the link still exists), which explained why giving away such digital editions was a sensible decision not only morally, but also economically – he mentioned that his books started selling more, not less, after he started sharing them on the web. Then when Thinking in Java 4th Edition was published, he announced that "for various reasons" he wouldn't provide a digital version for it, free or otherwise – and that was that. No facts or reasoning were given for the change, let alone why all his own arguments in defense of the model weren't valid anymore. The books already given away were kept available (I guess he figured it would be pointless to try going back on that), but no new offerings were ever added to the online collection. Ever since then I mostly moved past Java – or at any rate, past the need for the kind of complete reference Thinking in Java embodied – but I've never quite wrapped my mind around the whole episode. Was Mr. Eckel pressed by his publisher to change his practices? Did his claim that shared books sold better not hold true after all? I never found the answer – though to be fair I didn't look that hard.

                I think so, personally. I still recommend it as one of the first books a C++ beginner should read. :thumbsup:

                  This is very good book, but I has gone to depth. For person who just started learning C++ could find it bit difficult. But once you got some basic knowledge then nothing is like this book for C++.
