I got this at much less price (< 200 Rs). It is a book for beginners to learn C++ and introduces features of C++ 11 also. Language is smooth, easy to understand. This book is true to its title: "one hour a day". Each chapter focuses on one topic (or few related topics).

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it
Reviewed in Canada on 2 July 2015

This is the only C++ book I've read, but it's a great book, especially the first half. The second half was a little confusing, almost too many example and not enough explanations, definitely worth a read though!

5.0 out of 5 stars Motivated, Clearly Explained Intro to C++
Reviewed in the United States on 19 October 2013

Unlike C++ Primer, which claims/attempts to be an intro, STYC++ is the real thing.

Using the Third Printing April 2013, I find very few typos or grammar troubles like another reviewer complains. In fact, very much the opposite - this writer conveys every nuance of the language with clear and direct language. It is the easy style, the directness, and most of all - the motivated introduction to concepts that sets this book far above many of the other programming language introductory books I've read (specific to C++: 'C++ Primer' and 'A Tour of C++').

The book covers the language itself in about 300 pages. The remainder of the book covers the STL with another 300 pages.

Every concept is given a complete and to-the-point working example program so you can get used to reading complete programs, not just snippets of right and wrong lines like C++ Primer does.

You're given a set of guidelines to follow at the end of important concepts (DOs & DON'Ts), and at the end of each chapter is an informative Q&A where you can almost listen in to real world 'classroom' type questions and their answers.

The back of the book contains all answers to review/exercise questions. Also of interest are the BUG BUSTER questions which show you small (yet complete) programs for you to debug.

In short, this is THE book to get started with C++11. I tried others, but this one is finally teaching me without frustration in a motivated way - explaining not only the how but the WHY and doing so in plain language that is consistently easy to understand.

By the way, ... just noting a few other reviews directing to the 5th edition by Jesse Liberty.. I've had the displeasure of reading a few other books he has authored and was very disappointed by the writing style. Just my opinion.
