C++

The C++ Programming Language (4th Edition)

Author: Bjarne Stroustrup Published: May 2013 ISBN: 978-0321563842, 0321563840 "The new C++11 standard allows programmers to express ideas more clearly, simply, and directly, and to write faster, more efficient code. Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of C++, has reorganized, extended, and completely rewritten his definitive reference and tutorial for programmers who want to use C++ most effectively. The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, delivers meticulous, richly explained, and integrated coverage of the entire language-its facilities, abstraction mechanisms, standard libraries, and key design techniques."

C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines and Best Practices

Author: Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu Published: October 2004 ISBN: 978-0321113580, 9780321113580 "Consistent, high-quality coding standards improve software quality, reduce time-to-market, promote teamwork, eliminate time wasted on inconsequential matters, and simplify maintenance. Now, two of the world's most respected C++ experts distill the rich collective experience of the global C++ community into a set of coding standards that every developer and development team can understand and use as a basis for their own coding standards. The authors cover virtually every facet of C++ programming: design and coding style, functions, operators, class design, inheritance, construction/destruction, copying, assignment, namespaces, modules, templates, genericity, exceptions, STL containers and algorithms, and more."

Thinking in C++: Practical Programming, Volume Two

Author: Bruce Eckel Published: January 2004 ISBN: 978-0131225527, 0131225529 "For sophomore/junior level courses in Advanced C++ Programming offered in Computer Science departments. This text fills the need for a practical C++ topics book beyond the introductory level. No other text covers the topics needed to prepare students for production C++ programming. It streamlines the process of learning the C++ language, presenting material a simple step at a time, which allows the reader to digest each concept before moving on, and provides them with a solid foundation in C++."

Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied

Author: Andrei Alexandrescu Published: February 2001 ISBN: 978-0201704310, 0201704315 "In Modern C++ Design, Andrei Alexandrescu opens new vistas for C++ programmers. Displaying extraordinary creativity and virtuosity, Alexandrescu offers a cutting-edge approach to software design that unites design patterns, generic programming, and C++, enabling programmers to achieve expressive, flexible, and highly reusable code. The book introduces the concept of generic components, reusable design templates that enable an easier and more seamless transition from design to application code, generate code that better expresses the original design intention, and support the reuse of design structures with minimal recoding. The author then shows how to apply this approach to recurring, real-world issues that C++ programmers face in their day-to-day activity. All code is available on the Web, along with Alexandrescu's downloadable Loki C++ library, which provides powerful out-of-the-box functionality for virtually any C++ project. For experienced C++ programmers who have at least some familiarity with the Standard Template Library (STL)."

C++ The Complete Reference (5th Edition)

Author: Herbert Schildt Published: December 2000 ISBN: 978-0071634809, 0071634800 "C++ The Complete Reference, Fifth Edition is a thoroughly revised new edition covering the new International Standard for C++, known as C++0x, which incorporates many new and exciting features. This comprehensive guide offers full coverage of C++, the premier language of high-performance systems software development, and includes in-depth details on all of the new features and functionalities of C++0x."

Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example

Author: Andrew Koenig, Barbara Moo Published: August 2000 ISBN: 978-0201703535, 020170353X "Want to learn how to program in C++ immediately? Want to start writing better, more powerful C++ programs today? Accelerated C++'s uniquely modern approach will help you learn faster and more fluently than you ever believed possible. Based on the authors' intensive summer C++ courses at Stanford University, Accelerated C++ covers virtually every concept that most professional C++ programmers will ever use -- but it turns the "traditional" C++ curriculum upside down, starting with the high-level C++ data structures and algorithms that let you write robust programs immediately. Once you're getting results, Accelerated C++ takes you "under the hood," introducing complex language features such as memory management in context, and explaining exactly how and when to use them. From start to finish, the book concentrates on solving problems, rather than learning language and library features for their own sake. The result: You'll be writing real-world programs in no time -- and outstanding code faster than you ever imagined."

Thinking in C++: Introduction to Standard C++, Volume One (2nd Edition)

Author: Bruce Eckel Published: March 2000 ISBN: 978-0139798092, 0139798099 "In the first edition of Thinking in C++, Bruce Eckel synthesized years of C++ teaching and programming experience into a beautifully structured course in making the most of the language. It became an instant classic, winning the 1995 Software Development Jolt Cola Award for best book of the year. Now, Eckel has thoroughly rewritten Thinking in C++ to reflect the final ANSI/ISO C++ standard."

Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software

Author: Erich Gamma Published: 2000 ISBN: 978-7111211266, 8131700070 "Design Patterns is based on the idea that there are only so many design problems in computer programming. This book identifies some common program-design problems--such as adapting the interface of one object to that of another object or notifying an object of a change in another object's state--and explains the best ways (not always the obvious ways) that the authors know to solve them."

Practical C++ Programming

Author: Steve Oualline Published: August 1995 ISBN: 978-1-56592-139-9, 1-56592-139-9 "Fast becoming the standard language of commercial software development, C++ is an update of the C programming language, adding object-oriented features that are very helpful for today's larger graphical applications. Practical C++ Programming is a complete introduction to the C++ language for the beginning programmer, and also for C programmers transitioning to C++. Unlike most other C++ books, this book emphasizes a practical, real-world approach, including how to debug, how to make your code understandable to others, and how to understand other people's code."
