This is not a bad little reference, giving prototypes and short descriptions or detailed discussions, as appropriate, for each function listed. The coverage of the STL is a nice addition. It's certainly inferior to man pages, but if you don't have those, and don't have an internet connection, this could be good to have around.

This book is, succinctly, complete crap. It contains outdated and just plain incorrect information about very simple innovations in IT and communications. Being an IS book, the focus is more on marketing and business processes than the technology, but the amount of over-simplified, incomplete, and incorrect information is simply unbearable. If you must use this text book, try not to buy it!
