Summary: 85 rules to make you an Effective C++ programmer.
Review: Scott Meyers' Effective C++ and More Effective C++ have helped more than 100,000 programmers improve their skill. Now Scott has turned these two books into HTML, added six essential magazine articles, added thousand of internal and external hot links. Now every programmer can annotate her/his code by bookmarking Scott's tips and code. All of the beta reviewers said that we have pushed the technology edge to the limit.

Summary: A must buy - even if you already have the books
Review: The Effective C++ series should be in the library of every professional C++ developer; the practical value of Scott's advice is undisputed.The effort that has gone into this CD is clear and the end result is a very easy to use product making the valuable information even more accessible. I'm a long time user of these books, but I can't remember everthing in them. While coding I'll often recall something mentioned in one of the items and I find that the CD is proving the quickest and easiest way to find and review the material. The inherent (item based) nature of Scott's books lends itself very well to this format. In fact, for the first time in my life, I find myself preferring to use an on-line version over printed media!

Summary: Does not work with Macintosh OS X, any browser!
Review: This CD is completely incompatible with Macintosh OS X, using any browser I've tried (Internet Explorer 5.1, Netscape 6.2.3, Netscape 7.0, Mozilla, Chimera, Opera, or OmniWeb). Each browser has different problems. All of them have problems so severe as to make the CD unusable. The readme file that comes on the CD, and the web site to which it refers, are no help. Don't touch this with a ten foot pole, if you're using MacOS X!

Summary: HTML format works great in this CD-ROM book
Review: This is a case where the HTML format works very well. Apparently good effort was put into the making of this CD-ROM version of More/ Effective C++ to make it truly useful and worthwhile, unlike some other archive CD-ROMs of printed material. Features of this CD-ROM book include selectable lengths of displayed chunks (item, chapter, and book), selectable sizes of images, selectable sizes of the navigation bar, link-able paragraphs, and a Java-based search engine.

Summary: excellent content & format
Review: This is a very good buy for anyone not having the paper version of these books yet. The presentation is excellent, you can chose different chunkung and picture sizes, full cross search, and the author did put pretty much effort in this version to add links and cross reverences within and across the two books. So all fits together fine. For the revievs on content you can check at the original books. I think all C++ programmers can benefit much of it, those starting, and experienced ones too.

Summary: Must Buy for C++ programmers
Review: This is an absolutely awesome book series im extremely happy that i bought it, this this book is a must buy along with Richard Stevens books and The Practice of Programming
Rating:
Summary: Excellent material for entry-to-mid level C++ users
Review: this is one of the best marterial i found on how to write good C++ programs. laundry list is the perfect name for this, and keeps up to it's reputation. easy to understand, explained with lucid examples and very clearcut and to-the-point topics are taken up. i wish there was a CD for "Effective STL" book too.... it'd make the browsing and learning STL so much more easier.

Summary: Effective C++
Review: This is the most disapointing book on C++ that I have ever read. Not only are the author's "simple" examples unrelated to anything that programmers do in the real world, they are written from the viewpoint of the programming gods on Mount Olympus. Does anybody really care whether your "pointer to a derived function of a virtual base class that inherits nothing, can end up being a consternation for those expecting a pure, inherited pointer to a class that is virtually derived?" Huh? Enough said. C++ is an obscure language enough. And not one that will be around for very long in view of the developments of web programming in general. It will always be a basis to start from -- then once learned, quickly forgotten, like Latin. If you want more from this book then study FORTRAN, the precursor of the Latin we all know (and are struggling to work with to this day).
