To-the-point, authoritative, no-nonsense solutions have always been a trademark of O'Reilly books. The In a Nutshell books have earned a solid reputation in the field as the well-thumbed references that sit beside the knowledgeable developer's keyboard. C++ in a Nutshell lives up to the In a Nutshell promise. C++ in a Nutshell is a lean, focused reference that offers practical examples for the most important, most often used, aspects of C++.

C++ in a Nutshell packs an enormous amount of information on C++ (and the many libraries used with it) in an indispensable quick reference for those who live in a deadline-driven world and need the facts but not the frills.

The book's language reference is organized first by topic, followed by an alphabetical reference to the language's keywords, complete with syntax summaries and pointers to the topic references. The library reference is organized by header file, and each library chapter and class declaration presents the classes and types in alphabetical order, for easy lookup. Cross-references link related methods, classes, and other key features. This is an ideal resource for students as well as professional programmers.

This book introduces basic errors present in almost all C++ code, such as excessive commenting and unnecessary cleverness. It also includes chapters handling increasingly complex mistakes in syntax, preprocessing, conversions, initialization, memory and resource management, polymorphism, class design, and hierarchy design. Each error is explained and its context and repercussions clearly illustrated. The resolution of each problem is subsequently detailed and demonstrated.

Author Stephen Dewhurst supplies readers with idioms and design patterns that can be applied to provide customized solutions to common problems. Readers also gain deeper knowledge of the commonly misunderstood features of C++ used in advanced programming and design.

Readers discover:

• How to escape both common and complex traps associated with C++
• How to produce more reusable, more maintainable code
• Advanced C++ programming techniques
• Nuances of the C++ language

Showing how to navigate through the greatest dangers in C++ programming, C++ Gotchas provides programmers with the practical know-how needed to gain expert status.

Author Herb Schildt is the world's best-selling C++ author with more than 2 million books sold. The most complete coverage of the newly updated ANSI C++ Standard--including updated material on the STL, namespace naming methods, an new classes. An easy-to-follow, three-part organization: I) Description of the root of C++; II) Detailed coverage of C++'s OOP components and classes; III) Effective C++ software application development.

When you're programming, you need answers to questions about language syntax or parameters required by library routines quickly. What, for example, is the C++ syntax to define an alias for a namespace? Just how do you create and use an iterator to work with the contents of a standard library container? C++ in a Nutshell is a concise desktop reference that answers these questions, putting the full power of this flexible, adaptable (but somewhat difficult to master) language at every C++ programmer's fingertips.

The authors of this textbook urge readers to see them as a scientist- engineer pair, producing a combination C++ template tutorial with a detailed reference. They introduce language elements and design elements of the template feature of the programming language and provide coverage of template syntax and semantics. Techniques covered include static polymorphism, policy classes, metaprogramming, and expression templates. Also discussed is the C++ standard library, constructed largely with templates. Readers are expected to know C++ before approaching the book.
