Yes, I did continue past it ;) I was being semi-tongue in cheek.
But the guy is a heathen for the K&R comment. ;) ;) <-- note smilies
He also worked for Microsoft (from '87-'95).
I'd almost dismiss him just for that, but being he worked on the
memory subsystem, kernel debugger, and the object-oriented windows
shell (monad?), I can't really fault those.
But if he'd said he worked on DOS or the Windows API,
I'd have stopped reading and never ever looked back.
Seems the more interesting part of his online book is the stuff
at the end. Haven't read those fully yet, been too busy. But
a lot of stuff in the intro put me off. The C ghetto and all that
about kernels should use C++. Rubs me the wrong way :/
Veering back on topic: books I've read that I've liked that cover
the strengths and gotchyas of C++ (these are NOT free however):
"C++ FAQS" (Cline/Lomow)
"Modern C++ Design" (Alexandrescu)
"Effective C++" and "More Effective C++" (Meyers)
Pretty much anything by Meyers and Alexandrescu are excellent.
The C++ FAQ book is a frigging amazing concentration of knowledge
from all of the C++ language Usenet newsgroups over the years.
