Very little content / target audience: programming newbies?

In this book, however, it goes without speed reading or flying reading for me really do not, or I shall die of boredom.
I think that if you have worked through this book once, then you could summarize the information contained in a few pages without missing much.
The rest are filler sentences and even local vending, repetitions, etc.

For me, the book was quite a bad buy, and I think each of example C or Java and a bit may be used to university level to work (in a STEM professional), will be with the book extremely bored.
Whether the book is suitable for absolute beginners programming, I find it difficult to judge. For some perhaps.

I just thought you can quickly reinziehen and start the essential parts of C ++ with the book, but that hope was disappointed.
Now I'm working with the Stroustrup and quite honestly, even if his book over 1000 pages, has brings me faster and it's much more fun. Because while I can read what I think is relevant and that's all written quite succinctly and I do not have most of the time to spend the essential information from the entire "Text-waste" pick out.
