Fatbrain Review Scott Meyers has done it again, expanding on his indispensable classic Effective C++ with 35 new ways to improve programs and designs to make them more consistent, more efficient, more portable, in short, just plain better. Join Meyers for his in-the-know discussions of advanced C++ techniques like smart pointers and double-dispatching, or examine your own program efficiency with the help of Meyers' critical analysis of the costs of using C++. If your C++ compiler doesn't support new features like bool and the Standard Template Library, Meyers can get you over your design hump by demonstrating how to get the job done regardless. This pragmatic advice source is as essential to a C++ library as Meyers' previous book, and is just as useful for any experienced programmer not content to produce merely adequate programs.
