Is the book "C++ Primer Plus 6th Edition" Outdated?

[Himansh]

Hi all,
I am a beginner in C++ and I found this book "C++ Primer Plus 6th edition" By Stephen Prata.
http://www.amazon.com/Primer-Plus-Edition-Developers-Library/dp/0321776402

This book has got many good ratings on amazon. But, I also read somewhere that this book is outdated? Is this true? Also, If you have bought this book, then please tell me if I should buy this one or not?

Thanks,
-Himansh

The sixth edition of C++ Primer Plus has been updated and expanded to cover the latest developments in C++, including a detailed look at the new C++11 standard.

sounds like it's in date.

It is not a good book.

Choose one from this list (Beginner/Introductory) and you can't go wrong:

Bruce Eckel's book is also available as a free e-book.

i've never understood why Stroustrup's book is recommended to beginners.

Primer Plus 6th was, I think, the first textbook to push out a C++11 update, which made it even more of a mess than it was.
