Effective C++, Third Edition: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs - Cover

Alex Allain（Cprogramming.com）的推荐 If you want to really and truly understand C++, you must read Effective C++. After first reading Effective C++, I had a totally new appreciation for and understanding of C++. And it's not just me: this book gets 5 stars on Amazon (with over 140 reviews!). One of the reviewers even titles his review: "Don't write C++ code without it..." And I agree. I wouldn't hire someone to work for me that doesn't know the information in this book (or have plans to learn it soon). When we hire interns at my company, this is the book we give them to read. So what exactly will you learn? Scott Meyers does a great job of figuring out what little details are important, distilling the vast sea of knowledge about C++ into the 55 specific tips that are most useful for practicing C++ programmers. This isn't just a "what to do" book--it's a "why" book; every tip explains the reason for it, so you'll understand it and remember it better. In fact, even though the book is split across 55 tips, it feels like a holistic description of how to effectively use C++. Some of the specific things you'll learn: what functions are always part of a class and why it matters to you what to watch out for when writing an assignment operator How to avoid common pitfalls when creating class hierarchies how to write code designed for others to use simple techniques that can lead to huge performance improvements advanced C++ techniques, including use of the STL (with lots of examples) And much much more... If you are serious about becoming a C++ expert, buy ONE book on C++, this would be the book. (Yes, even over Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language"--it's that good.) So buy Effective C++ today and write better programs tomorrow! Alex 49 Dover St. #37, Somerville, MA 02144, USA
