 c++ programming January 7, 2008

A good book in an informal language to take a look at the most importance topics to avoid many common errors during the programming in C++. Widely used in the industry.
Must have for any C++ Programmer December 21, 2007

This is a great book which covers a lot of useful topics for every C++ professional. I have been programming in C++ for a while so some of the topics Scott Mayers discussed were already familiar but I still picked up a lot from this book. From a beginner to intermediate programmer, this is a must have. Advanced programmers probably have this book already (or its previous editions).
This book assumes that you already used C++ and understand its fundamentals. Scott's goal is not to teach the fundamentals but to advice readers on how to use the language effectively - generating good, efficient, re-usable, portable code. On this goal, he was successful. Its pretty much like when I was learning Japanese. I understood the fundamentals and word translations but in order to effectively communicate in that language, I had to be familiar with proper sentence construction, various formalities (some words are not appropriate for certain settings or people) and word dynamics as well. In a sense, this book (or Scott) is your sensei to good C++ programming.
Some more suggested reading to complement Scott Mayer's series:
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)
and
Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied (C++ In-Depth Series)

By far one of the best books I own. It really is a must-have.
Bought three editions and read them all October 21, 2007

There are very few technical books that I have read more than once. I can count on one hand the number that I have read three times. Scott Meyers' Effective C++ is one that I have not only read more than once, but have bought three separate editions and read them all more than once. This latest edition is not just a minor updating of previous editions. It contains far more information than earlier editions, and even goes beyond what libraries provided with common compilers currently deliver, making use of the tr1 (Technical Report 1) stuff that will be the future. That's not to say it cannot be used right now - learn from Meyers and use the Boost library (downloadable free) until tr1 becomes commonly available.
In my opinion this third edition is no longer suitable for people new to C++, but once developers have some C++ experience under their belt this becomes a must have. That's not just because most interviewers get their technical questions from Meyers' books (they really do!), but because the content is genuinely useful.

This book really helps you become a sharper c++ class designer. Tips are brief and yet very well explained. I read the book from A to Z in a single day!.
I highly recomend this book for c++ programmers of any level of experience.
