Advanced C++ Techniques (Paperback)

"Advanced C++ Techniques" explains many of C++'s more powerful and useful capabilities. It illuminates the language's advanced features through the use of clear, straightforward examples that emphasize simplicity, reliability and maintainability. All example code has been validated on several C++ platforms. C++ continues to be the tool of choice for developing fast, robust enterprise applications. But the C++ Standard is far from clear in many regards. One could spend years exploring the language's advanced features without ever completely understanding it. ""Advanced C++ Techniques"" is for professional developers who want to use advanced C++ concepts to build real-world solutions. Rather than serving as a comprehensive from-the-ground-up manual, it focuses on many of the more powerful and useful capabilities of C++, addressing such hot topics as templates, exceptions, the Standard Template Library, component design, and object design. Unlike most C++ books, which approach C++ almost entirely in terms of ""objects==data,"" this book emphasizes how C++ can be used to develop algorithms. Clear, straightforward examples round out the explanations. Throughout, the emphasis is on simplicity, reliability, and maintainability--not arcane tricks or showy cleverness. Topics covered include: Exceptions Scoping Templates Hashes and B-trees Persistent objects ""Advanced C++ Techniques"" includes thousands of lines of documented open source code, all of which have been validated on several C++ platforms, including Red Hat Linux 5.2, the Gnu Project's gcc 2.95, Microsoft's Visual C++ 6.0, and Borland's C++ Builder.
