If [you think] you are a true C++ developer, then you need to know everything in this book. I've been doing C++ for the last six or seven years, but I never knew most *WHY* most of the 55 tips in the book were used. Ever wonder about consts, and pointers and when to use them? calling virtual functions and error throwing in constructors/destructors? When should you do something and when shouldn't you? This book has them all! If you think Design Patterns is helpful, this book is 10x more so. If you want to know more about C++ than wtd? Read this book ;) ISBN: 0-321-33487-6 ----------------------------------- wtd Sat Sep 13, 2008 11:37 am RE:[C++ book] Effective C++ Third Edition ----------------------------------- Does it cover template issues in great depth? ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sat Sep 13, 2008 5:28 pm RE:[C++ book] Effective C++ Third Edition ----------------------------------- wtd, you can read the whole book here and tell us what you think ;) No posting links to download copy righted material please. ----------------------------------- yanko Sat Jan 24, 2009 9:13 am RE:[C++ book] Effective C++ Third Edition ----------------------------------- do we need to know c++ to be able to read it? and understand it? ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Sat Jan 24, 2009 12:40 pm RE:[C++ book] Effective C++ Third Edition ----------------------------------- oops, my bad ----------------------------------- Vertico Sat Jan 24, 2009 2:52 pm Re: RE:[C++ book] Effective C++ Third Edition ----------------------------------- do we need to know c++ to be able to read it? and understand it?
