The only thing "essential" about FQA is that someone absolutely has to drop a link to it whenever there's "C++" and "FAQ" in the same sentence. It's known for being known. The actual content is utter junk - just try reading through it once.

It's strident and biased (and makes no attempt to hide either) but IMO it's quite informative. I've learned a lot about C++ from it.

I thought I learned a lot about C++ from it when I first read it, but I have gradually come to realize that the things I learned were mostly a mix of incorrect and irrelevant.

It's a highly suspect source at best. The original FAQ (lite) is worlds better in spirit and in content.

I read through it once - some years ago - and agreed with its spirit. Unfortunately, until they've been enlightened, C++ acolytes are unlikely to understand it.
