Summary 55 specific ways to improve your programs and designs. Includes expert guidance on object-oriented design, class design, and the proper use of inheritance; an examination of the standard C++ library, discussion of late-breaking language features like in-class initializations, namespaces and member templates.
While good, this book has been superseded by a new version. Common C++ knowledge has progressed quite a bit since this second edition was published, so at this point in time (2005), many of the points covered in this edition may seem obvious to a modern beginning or intermediate C++ programmer. A better value would be to obtain the third edtion of this book, by the same author. This review refers to the 2nd Edition
Excellent book on how to improve your coding practices and designs. This book does not just say why you shouldn't do something a particular way - the author provides examples of why not along with the correct way. An excellent book but is not recommended for people just starting out with C++ as some experience of the language will be required to fully appreciate this book This review refers to the 2nd Edition
