C++ is a large, complex language, and learning it is never easy. But some concepts and techniques must be thoroughly mastered if programmers are ever to do professional-quality work. This book presents the technical details essential for C++ programming. It is intended for people who are using C++.

Most C++ programmers are not experts, and they often need preliminaryeducation in various C++ language features, coding techniques, and designpatterns before they can be fully productive. Programmers who need thiseducation include: (1) domain experts who are C programmers, but have onlybasic knowledge of C++; (2) new hires who may have an excellent appreciationof C++ from college courses, but have no practical experience; (3) expert Javaprogrammers who tend to program in C++ the way they do in Java; (4) C++programmers with years of experience maintaining programs, but noknowledge beyond the basics required for that task. What they're missing is thecommon knowledge among experienced C++ programmers, what it takes towrite production-quality programs. That common knowledge is the topic ofthis book.

Stephen C. Dewhurst was among the first users of C++ at Bell Labs. He has more than twenty years of experience in applying C++ to problem areas such as compiler design, securities trading, e-commerce, and embedded telecommunications. He is the author and coauthor of several books on C++ and is a member of the advisory board for The C++ Source, a contributing editor for C/C++ Users Journal, and a former columnist for C++ Report. He is also the author of two C++ compilers and numerous articles on compiler design and C++ programming techniques. 0321321928AB02022005
