Professional C++ Programming provides a code-intensive, practical guide to best practices for designing and building C++ applications. Geared to experienced C++ developers, the book teachers programmers how to think in C++ – that is, how to design effective solutions that maximize the capabilities of the language. They then drill down into the language itself, explaining poorly understood elements of the C++ feature set, as well as pitfalls to avoid.The authors will teach each feature by example, presenting numerous challenging, real-world program segments that readers can plug into their own applications. There will also be several, in-depth case studies with extensive, working code that’s been tested on Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms. The authors will intersperse the text with non-trivial tips, tricks, and workarounds.Along with an emphasis on good programming style, the authors will also show best practices for testing and debugging applications.
