Hi all,
I am looking for buying another C++ book and I want some suggestions
from you. I am a new C++ programmer but I already know some of the
_basic_ ideas such as class, inheritance, operator overloading, etc
but not deep enough. The C++ books I own are pretty old so I want a
newer one that covers some of the new features of C++ such as STL and
share pointer. Any idea? When you reply, can you state the book's
name, author and edition?
Thanks!
Effective C++, More Effective C++ and Effective STL, all by Scott Meyers.
Second one has a good section on reference counting (shared pointers use
reference counting), as well as a lot of other intermediate level C++
techniques. Third covers STL obviously.
Another possibility is The C++ Standard Library by Josuttis, which is a good
tutorial and reference to the STL, but because it is comprehensive also
spreads itself a bit thin.
