Summary: Excellent material now in an easier to use format.
Comment: I recently purchased the "Effective C++ CD" and really like it. Other reviews of the two equivalent hardcopy books have already pointed out the excellence of the material. I purchased the hardcopy version of the first book ("Effective C++") a number of years ago and it has been a major resource for improving my C++ programming and OO skills.
I now have the TOCs for the CD-based version of the two Effective C++ books in the personal bookmarks toolbar of my web browser at work, along with a couple of online STL references and the C++ FAQ. If I find myself having a C++ question while I'm writing code I use the browser to jump to Scott's books to find out the correct way to do it.
I like the CD format for a number of reasons. I find it easier to jump around in a browser than thumbing through a hardcopy book. I increasingly use my web browser as an online programming guide, so this helps me to have everything in one place. Also, I happen to work in one of the world's sloppiest cubicles, so having reference materials online is rapidly becoming the only viable alternative. : - )
This material has helped me become a better programmer, and I strongly recommend it.

Summary: You need this CD if you want to write efficient C++ code.
Comment: I've read the 2 books by the same author, i.e. "Effective C++ (2nd Edition)" (1998) and "More Effective C++" (1996). They're both excellent and recommended reading if you're serious about writing efficient C++ code.
I was glad that he came up with this CD because it's much easier to look up something with it than searching through the books. Moreover, you can cut and paste code from it directly, saving you time. Its user interface is quite unique too, as you can resize the left menu panel's width and the size of the figures/diagrams to suit your screen resolution.
It's definitely a recommended companion to the 2 original books.

Summary: Effective C++
Comment: This is the most disapointing book on C++ that I have ever read. Not only are the author's "simple" examples unrelated to anything that programmers do in the real world, they are written from the viewpoint of the programming gods on Mount Olympus. Does anybody really care whether your "pointer to a derived function of a virtual base class that inherits nothing, can end up being a consternation for those expecting a pure, inherited pointer to a class that is virtually derived?"
Huh? Enough said.
C++ is an obscure language enough. And not one that will be around for very long in view of the developments of web programming in general. It will always be a basis to start from -- then once learned, quickly forgotten, like Latin.
If you want more from this book then study FORTRAN, the precursor of the Latin we all know (and are struggling to work with to this day).
