[Effective C++ 01] • Effective C++

**The Barnes & Noble Review**

Since early in the 90s, working C++ programmers have relied on Scott Meyers s *Effective C++* to dramatically improve their skills. But the state-of-the-art has moved forward dramatically since Meyers last updated this book in 1997. (For instance, there s now STL. Design patterns. Even new functionality being added through TR1 and Boost.) So Meyers has done a top-to-bottom rewrite, identifying the 55 most valuable techniques you need *now* to be exceptionally effective with C++.

Over half of this edition s content is new. Templates broadly impact C++ development, and you ll find them everywhere. There s extensive coverage of multithreaded systems. There s an entirely new chapter on resource management. You ll find substantial new coverage of exceptions. Much is gained, but nothing s lost: You ll find the same depth of practical insight that first made *Effective C++* a classic all those years ago. *Bill Camarda, from the July 2005* href="[http://www.barnesandnoble.com/newslet...](http://www.barnesandnoble.com/newsletters/newsletters_cds2.asp?PID=994%22>Read) Only
