Rating: 5 stars
Summary: it,s very good book
Review: please i can,t get 1000 words but i want to ask you only which book is the best in progamming concept or c++ that can help me to understand every thing about c++ easily

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gold
Review: In the sea of "In 21 Days" rubbish in the C++ section of every technical bookshop, seek out this book. It is one of the best on the language. Valuable information presented in a concise, entertaining and clear manner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent choice for everyone programming in C++
Review: This book is very well written, easy to understand and precise when describing each effective way to use C++ features mentioned; as well as, clearly pointing out the subtleties of the language. This is a book worth having on your desk each time you go to write a C++ program.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful book
Review: This book was enormously helpful to me. With the guidance of this book, I went from the struggling-beginner stage to the confident-intermediate stage as a C++ developer. I think the insights in the book would be helpful to more experienced people as well. I shared some of the things I learned from it with more-experienced colleagues and they were appreciative. The style of the book is engaging. I read most of it during my commute by train. Each chapter was just about right for one train trip, and gave me food for thought for the rest of the day.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The When-To companion for all those How-To's
Review: I highly recommend this book to intermediate C++ users who wish to hone their C++ programming skills. Just days after starting to read this book I began incorporating Scott Meyers' guidelines into my programming. Many programming language books teach you How-To use the tools of the language. But they don't go any further. If you know "How-To" to use the tools provided by C++ then it's time to get this book, which teaches you "When-To" use those tools. Scott Meyers conveys these practical guidelines in a technical but nonetheless human manner. Enjoyable to read and valuable to any serious C++ programmer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Getting your C++ constructs strait.
Review: For programmers that are already familiar with the basics of C++ programming but who still hesitate as to which C++ construct to use, when, where, and how to use it... this is the right book.

Besides, it is written in a very pleasant style. It reads more like a novel than a reference manual.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Succinct must have for any serious C++ Programmer
Review: Scott Meyers' now classic Effective C++ provides an informative and elegant presentation of specific tips that should be used by all C++ programmers. The organization of the book allows the reader to read it front to back or as a quick reference. Any serious C++ programmer should have this book in his/her library.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great, practical C++ ideas and rules
Review: Great examples, great explanations, and very thought provoking. As you work through the book, you will ponder several items in the examples.

Then, the next paragraph will begin with 'You're thinking that that won't work, but ...'. If you want to learn better, safer C++, this book may be for you.

This book covers the unwritten rules that will help you write and use better coding practices, without changing everything about the way you think and work. Meyers gives advise about safer pointer casting, better memory management, finding bugs before they find you, and the differences between lab-condition coding and real-world coding.

If you have ever had a customer call back with a bug, then the ideas presented in this book may help you think about how to change that. He also covers the most elegant and efficient ways to hide your data, your implementation, or any combination thereof.

Ever wonder why multiple inheritance doesn't work as well as you though it would, but you know you want to re-use modules of code in your hierarchy? Meyers explains away the mystery between the "is-a", "has-a", and "is-implemented-in-terms-of" connections between code. And, to top it off, he does this in an entertaining, engaging way.

This book has been moved to the front of the reference stack, and should be used intensely during the code module design phase, as well as during implmentation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will not regret buying this book.
Review: The day I got this book I sat down and read the first 17 "Items" without stopping. Not only is this book a wonderful guide to the many arcane details of C++, it's also a pleasure to read. I personally have a strong history in C, and know the basics of C++. This book was just what I needed to fill in the gaps of my C++ knowledge.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book helped me a lot
Review: I'm a good C programmer and thought myself to be a good C++ programmer. First, this book showed me I'm NOT (or wasn't) a good C++ programmer, then it showed me what I need to know to become one.

Lots of good solid nuts-and-bolts stuff about inheritance, memory management, you name it - the kind of things you'll need to know if you're asked to do anything serious in C++, particularly if you'll be designing classes.

I recommend this book for anyone who has a fair grasp of C++ but wants to know it better. The follow up book is great too.
