Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Praise for Scott Meyers' first book, Effective C++: "I heartily recommend Effective C++, to anyone who aspires to mastery of C++ at the intermediate level or above." -- The C/C++ User's Journal

From the author of the indispensable Effective C++, here are 35 new ways to improve your programs and designs. Drawing on years of experience, Meyers explains how to write software that is more effective: more efficient, more robust, more consistent, more portable, and more reusable. In short, how to write C++ software that's just plain better.

More Effective C++ includes:

Proven methods for improving program efficiency, including incisive examinations of the time/space costs of C++ language features

Comprehensive descriptions of advanced techniques used by C++ experts, including placement new, virtual constructors, smart pointers, reference counting, proxy classes, and double-dispatching

Examples of the profound impact of exception handling on the structure and behavior of C++ classes and functions

Practical treatments of new language features, including bool, mutable, explicit, namespaces, member templates, the Standard Template Library, and more. If your compilers don't yet support these features, Meyers shows you how to get the job done without them.

More Effective C++ is filled with pragmatic, down-to-earth advice you'll use every day. Like Effective C++ before it, More Effective C++ is essential reading for anyone working with C++.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific coverage of advanced C++ techniques, December 18, 1999

By	Robert D. C. Shearer (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While Meyers' first book, _Effective C++_, described fundamental concepts of C++, this book covers substantially more advanced techniques. These are not the heavily-designed strategies described in _Design Patterns_ or _Advanced C++: Programming Styles and Idioms_, but more lightweight and fundamental C++ features, including the specifics of memory allocation, exception handling, stack-based classes, and operator overloading. These are features of C++ which can be ignored at first but soon become key everday programming elements and important design considerations once well understood.

The material covered here separates the casual or novice C++ hobbyist from the true programmer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good book, but may be it's not a must for everybody, July 30, 1998

By	desteban@esrin.esa.it (Rome, Italy) - See all my reviews

Yeah, Effective C++ is really a *must read* if you want to improve your current knowledge of C++. However, although interesting, I don't find this book a must because it explains things you will not probably use in your real life as a programmer. If you already have Effective C++, both Stroustup, and/or Coplien's "Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms" and/or Murray's "C++ Strategies and Tactics", I don't think you should get it unless you do not sleep at nights or you want to know absolutely everything about C++. However, it is a good book, so if you are not concerned about money, get it and read it, but get first the other ones I said.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are serious about C++..., October 26, 1999

By	Stephane Charette (charette@writeme.com) "ste... (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

...this book is for you. Both "50 Specific Ways" and his second book "35 New Ways" have helped me bring my C++ programming up to the next level of understanding. After using C for more than 10 years and C++ for all but the first few of those years, there were still many small things that used to bug me. Problems with some of my constructors, strange constructs I'd discovered over the years but never 100% understood... Scott's books have not only cleared the field, but have brought to my attention many new things about objects and C++ I'd never previously considered.

One warning: I found that some items were too far above me when I first read through the books -- especially this second book, "35 New Ways..." However, once I'd finished reading the book, I started again right back at page 1, and my second (and 3rd, 4th...) reading made much more sense. There is a *lot* of helpful information packed into Scott's 85 items.

I recommend picking up both books at once, or, I believe a special edition is available with both books condensed into 1 volume.
