Abstract:
"We live in a time when, perhaps surprisingly, the best printed works on C++ are just now emerging. This is one of those works. Although C++ has been at the forefront of innovation and productivity in software development for more than two decades, it is only now being fully understood and utilized. This book is one of those rare contributions that can bear repeated study by practitioners and experts alike. It is not a treatise on the arcane or academic-rather it completes your understanding of things you think you know but will bite you sooner or later until you really learn them. Few people have mastered C++ and software design as well as Steve has; almost no one has such a level head as he when it comes to software development. He knows what you need to know, believe me. When he speaks, I always listen-closely. I invite you to do the same. You (and your customers) will be glad you did." -Chuck Allison, editor, The C++ Source "Steve taught me C++. This was back in 1982 or 1983, I think-he had just returned from an internship sitting with Bjarne Stroustrup inventor of C++ at Bell Labs. Steve is one of the unsung heroes of the early days, and anything Steve writes is on my A-list of things to read. This book is an easy read and collects a great deal of Steve's extensive knowledge and experience. It is highly recommended." -Stan Lippman, coauthor of C++ Primer, Fourth Edition "I welcome the self-consciously non-Dummies approach of a short, smart book." -Matthew P. Johnson, Columbia University "I agree with the author's assessment of the types of programmers. I have encountered the same types in my experience as a developer and a book like this will go far to help bridge their knowledge gap.... I think this book complements other books, like Effective C++ by Scott Meyers. It presents everything in a concise and easy-to-read style." -Moataz Kamel, senior software designer, Motorola Canada "Dewhurst has written yet another very good book. This book should be required reading for people who are using C++ (and think that they already know everything in C++)." -Clovis Tondo, coauthor of C++ Primer Answer Book What Every Professional C++ Programmer Needs to Know-Pared to Its Essentials So It Can Be Efficiently and Accurately Absorbed C++ is a large, complex language, and learning it is never entirely easy. But some concepts and techniques must be thoroughly mastered if programmers are ever to do professional-quality work. This book cut...
