Effective C++ : 55 specific ways to improve your programs and designs

The Barnes & Noble Review Since early in the 90s, working C++ programmers have relied on Scott Meyers s Effective C++ to dramatically improve their skills. But the state-of-the-art has moved forward dramatically since Meyers last updated this book in 1997. (For instance, there s now STL. Design patterns. Even new functionality being added through TR1 and Boost.) So Meyers has done a top-to-bottom rewrite, identifying the 55 most valuable techniques you need now to be exceptionally effective with C++. Over half of this edition s content is new. Templates broadly impact C++ development, and you ll find them everywhere. There s extensive coverage of multithreaded systems. There s an entirely new chapter on resource management. You ll find substantial new coverage of exceptions. Much is gained, but nothing s lost: You ll find the same depth of practical insight that first made Effective C++ a classic all those years ago. Bill Camarda, from the July 2005 (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/newslet...](http://www.barnesandnoble.com/newsletters/newsletters_cds2.asp?PID=994) Only 'Effective C++' has been updated to reflect the latest ANSI/ISO standards. The author, a recognised authority on C++, shows readers 55 ways to improve their programs and designs
