Even if you do not have a project that can use these pragmatic suggestions, this is a great way to focus on real-life in-depth programming concepts. reading this should enhance your intuition and improve your skills. ( )

It's still too early to see how the C++ story will play out. Can a language keep growing forever without at some point seeing some sort of rebellion from the users and compiler writers who just cannot keep up?

But, right now, we have to deal with C++ as it is, and Scott Meyers remains a fine guide in explaining just what the heck is going on in the language, and how the various pieces fit together.
Many years ago I read the first version of this book; and this 3rd edition is a fine update, doing a good job of explaining a number of the new language features that have been added over the last ten years. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0201924889, Paperback)

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
