Product Description
This definitive guide to C++ has been updated to reflect the latest ANSI/ISO standard. With more than 50,000 copies sold, the first edition has helped thousands of developers improve their C++ programming skills. Continuing in this tradition, Meyers has reworked every item in the book and has liberally placed cross-references throughout the text.
Amazon.com Review
This exceptionally useful text offers Scott Myers's expertise in C++ class design and programming tips. The second edition incorporates recent advances to C++ included in the ISO standard, including namespaces and built-in template classes, and is required reading for any working C++ developer. The book opens with some hints for porting code from C to C++ and then moves on to the proper use of the new and delete operators in C++ for more robust memory management. The text then proceeds to class design, including the proper use of constructors, destructors, and overloaded operator functions for assignment within classes. (These guidelines ensure that you will create custom C++ classes that are fully functional data types, which can be copied and assigned just like built-in C++ classes.) The author also provides a handful of suggestions for general class design, including strategies for using different types of inheritance and encapsulation. Never doctrinaire and always intelligent, these guidelines can make your C++ classes more robust and easier to maintain. --Richard Dragan

 I have not received this purchased item yet June 14, 2009

I have to be quite negative due to the fact I have not received this item yet. It was supposed to be delivered around May 24. Currently it is June 14 and I did not receive any responses neither from Amazon nor from the seller. I have submitted multiple status requests.
Disappointed,

MUST-READ for C++ programmers June 11, 2009
This book is not easy to read. You need to have a certain knowledge of C++ and of object oriented programming in general to grasp most of the details. On the other hand, this is one of the books that opens your mind on new techniques, solves any possible doubt and help you get a deep knowledge of the language.
The book is divided in "items". Each item is a trip into C++ of its own and gives you details, advices, insight and ideas to think about and work on in the future.
Buy it. Read it. Study it. Then code for a while. Then iterate the process!
amazing "book club" book May 31, 2009
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an amazing book. I read it long ago and am reading it again. My development team are all young. I decided to read this book as a team to help bring the java trained people up to speed on the complexities of C++. It is working well so far. The format of the book lends itself to "book club" style reading like no other.
 Great book but Kindle edition doesn't cut it March 8, 2009
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I really wanted to purchase this book for my Kindle 2 so I could reference it wherever I go. Unfortunately, the conversion to Kindle format made it much more difficult to read, mostly due to the fact that the code samples do not format correctly on the device. I imagine that the book needs to be re-converted to make use of the fixed-width font capabilities that are present in the newer Kindle software. Until they fix the formatting for Kindle, the print version is the only one I would recommend.
 High quality book, but mostly trivia March 3, 2009
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I think this is a high quality book, along with its sequel "More effective C++."
However, if you already have enough experience in programming or at the very least have been "book smart" by reading Stroustrup or Lippman, you do not need to waste your money and time investing in this book.
I picked up the book after reading enough books in C++, I immediately saw the "diminishing returns of investment" on reading books relative to the same topics. This means that this book, although excellent to be fair, does not stand out by offering anything new that I have not known from somewhere else.
I would rate this book 4-star as at least it does not contain wrong messages. Just venture out a little and see how many jokes you will find in the authors that claim themselves experts.
