I got a copy of Teach Yourself C++ In 21 Days For Linux from a friend for Christmas, and since I am interested in C++, I'd like to know how reliable the info it contains is.

I know it's a bit beginner oriented and maybe lacks in-depth explanations(according to reviews I've seen), but nobody has commented one way or the other on the reliability of the actual techniques the book teaches, or whether or not code written according to what this book teaches will be standards compliant, etc...
