Summary The professional programmer's guide to avoiding and correcting ninety-nine of the most common, destructive, and interesting C++ design and programming errors. Serves as an inside look at the more subtle C++ features and programming techniques.
One of my favorite C++ books, this describes most of the common pitfalls of C++ programming. It goes in depth and explains not only what not to do, but also why not to do it, and usually offers good alternate methods. Despite not being a reference book per se, it offers good insight into many of the technical details behind the scenes in a C++ program's operation.
