Product Description

*Recipient of Computer Language 1991 JOLT Cola Productivity Award *One of JOOP Magazine's Top Ten Books of the Decade (three years in a row) *A 1992 Stacey's best-seller *Continued critical acclaim in October 1995 Dr. Dobb's Written by an expert in C++, Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms looks at the design features of the C++ programming language. Assuming a background in the syntax of C++, Coplien shows how to become an expert C++ programmer by learning the idioms of the language. His approach is organized around the abstractions that C++ supports: abstract data types, combining types in inheritance structures, object-oriented programming, and multiple inheritance. Using small, but rich examples, he shows how these abstractions can be combined to use the language effectively.

Customer Reviews

This book is a mind expanding experience
If you are serious about C++, and have read Stroustrup 3d edition, and Scott Meyer's books,then I would recommend this book as the next step for evening/weekend reading. Don't let the publication date scare you, the coverage is platform neutral, and the concepts are still valid. It is a mixture of conceptual material and source code that shows how to express them. A wonderfull read.

Mind expanding purple book
among freinds we refer to this book as mind-expanding, as, one can't pick it up without having to make room for a new concept and facet each time

A must-have for any C++ programmer
If you do any C++ programming, whether you're a novice or an expert, this book is a definite "must" for your library. This book is not specific to any compiler or operating system, so you can use it no matter what your environment is. But what's most important is that it covers every aspect of C++ programming that's even the least-bit complicated. I've been programming C++ for over five years, and EVERY time I've wanted to figure out how to do something in C++, not only was I able to find a clear description, but sample code as well.
