Meyers, Scott: Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and s

Effective C++ 3/e is a complete update of Effective C++ and Effective C++ 2/e . Like its predecessors, 3/e has 55 guidelines which contain better, more effective ways to write code, backed by specific examples. The second edition published in 1997, and was basically a face-lift of the first edition, keeping most of the same elements, and seven years later is still selling well. Now, Meyers has dramatically rejuvenated the material, including more than 50% brand-new material. Meyers began this edition by asking himself, What are the 55 most important pieces of advice for practicing C++ programmers in 2005? He also asked thousands of past users of his books this same question. This resulted in a completely new book. New material includes use of UML notation, thread safety, exception safety, patterns, and templates. Any older material has been revitalized to reflect new ideas and strides in C++ development.
