Query: Not a good starting place.

I do not recommend this book for anyone brand new to C++ programming. The chapters (or "modules" as the author for some reason insisted on calling them) felt extremely rushed and not designed for a beginner. The author did not cleary explain many ideas and would often randomly jump to another subject. In addition the author did not give enough examples on the practical use of many of the ideas he explained and at times assumed the reader had some pre-existing knowledge on the subject.
