Description of More Effective C++
More Effective C++ written by Scott Meyers is a great programming book for C++ Programming studies available in ebook (PDF/EPUB) free download. This More Effective C++ book for C++ programmers. C++ programming has nevertheless emerged as the language of choice for systems programming on nearly all major computing platforms. Individuals and companies with challenging programming problems increasingly embrace the language, & the question faced by those who do not use C++ is often when they will start, not if. Standardization of C++ is complete, the breadth and scope of the accompanying library which both subsumes and dwarfs that of C make it possible to write rich, complex programs without sacrificing portability or implementing common data structures and algorithms from scratch.
C++ compilers continue to proliferate, the features they offer continue to expand, & the quality of the code they generate continues to improve. Environments and tools for C++ development grow ever more abundant, robust and powerful. Commercial libraries all and obviate the need to write code in many application areas. As the language has matured & our experience with it has increased, our needs for information about it have changed. In 1990, people wanted to know what C++ programming. By 1992, they wanted to know how to make it work and now C++ programmers ask higher-level questions: How can I design my software so it will adapt to future demands?
How can I improve my coding efficiency without compromising its correctness or making it harder to use? How can I implement sophisticated functionality not supported directly by the language? In this More Effective C++ book, I answer these questions and many others like them. This More Effective C++ book shows how to implement and design C++ software that is more effective: more likely to behave correctly; more robust in the face of exceptions; more efficient; more portable; adapts to change more gracefully; makes better use of language features; works better in a mixed-language environment; is easier to use correctly; is harder to use incorrectly. In short, software that’s just better. You can also get Effective STL.
