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
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.

Great Book November 8, 2009
RH (Philadelphia, PA)
This book is meant for people who are familiar with the C++ syntax, but want to fine tune their skills. The only other books that can improve the quality and reliability of your code as well as this are Scott Myers' other books (35 More Specific Ways and 50 Ways to Improve STL Use). The text tackles relatively complex issues in a very approachable and easy to read manner. I have found no flaws with this book. I strongly recommend any C++ book written by Myers (I have read several and loved them all).
 Great Resource for new and experienced developers. August 19, 2009
Code Monkey (Los Angeles)
The book is well laid out and organized, reminding us of casual programming casualties that can be avoided. I am very pleased with the purchase however I must criticize the Kindle version which doesn't properly separate paragraphs and can be a bit awkward to read. The content, again, is fantastic.
 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
G. Botta
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

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.
