Well, your mileage may vary. Personally I have learnt C++ and Ada both frag=
ment by fragment. With each new fragment (and version!) of C++ I often have=
 to adapt, revise, change, or ditch an idiom entirely. (Classes being the e=
xception, hence the recommendation.) With each new fragment of Ada I could =
keep the previous idioms, seldom change them, never ditch them. As I said, =
personal memory, maybe I used the wrong books.

Thanks for the "Accelerated" book recommendation, I'll check. My learned co=
lleages recommend the "42 ways".
