Description |
| More than 500,000 programmers have benefited from previous editions! This is a complete rewrite of the most widely read and most trusted book on C++. Based on the ANSI/ISO C++ final draft, this book covers the C++ language, its standard library, and key design techniques as an integrated whole. The C++ Programming Language provides comprehensive coverage of C++ language features and standard library components. For example, it includes complete coverage of abstract classes as interfaces, class hierarchies for object-oriented programming, templates as the basis for type-safe generic software, exceptions for regular error handling, namespaces for modularity in large-scale software, run-time type identification for loosely coupled systems, the C subset of C++ for C compatibility and system-level work, standard containers and algorithms, and standard strings, I/O streams, and numerics. With this third edition, Stroustrup makes C++ even more accessible to those new to the language while adding information and techniques that even expert C++ programmers will find invaluable. A web page to support the book can be found at http://www.awl.com/cp/stroustrup3e |
| In this brand-new third edition of The C++ Programming Language, author Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, presents the full specification for the C++ language and standard library, a spec that will soon become the joint ISO/ANSI C++ standard. Past readers will find that the new edition has changed a great deal and grown considerably to encompass new language features, particularly run-time type identification, namespaces, and the standard library. At the same time, readers will recognize the lucid style and sensible advice that made previous editions so readable and enjoyable. Probably the biggest change is a substantial new section, well over 200 pages in length, covering the contents and design of the C++ standard library, the most important new feature of the C++ specification. The author has also added a substantial number of new exercises while keeping many from previous editions that have retained their value. While The C++ Programming Language is not a C++ tutorial, strictly speaking, anyone learning the language, especially those coming from C, will greatly benefit from the clear presentation of all its elements. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this book for anyone who is serious about using C++. |

 C++ holy grail written by the language's creator himself 2008-12-30 |
| By Alex Ferrugia |
I recommend this book to any level of C++ programmer, from rookie to expert, with the disclaimer that the material is likely over the head of a C++ beginner...but it's a great reference none the less. While it may be a challenge to understand for someone without a lot of C++ experience, this book is a comprehensive overview of C++ and object oriented (OO) programming in general. The text isn't easy to get through the first time beacuse the author assumes that the reader is comfortable with various functions and concepts. Sometimes functions or ideas are used in examples that aren't fully explained until later in the text. Some reviewers don't like Bjarne's writing style but I didn't find it to be a problem... it's a C++ programming learning tool, not a novel.
Bottom line: If you are a C++ programmer, you should probably own or have access to this book. |
| Best C++ Book 2008-11-06 |
| By Javier Ruiz (Guadalara Mexico) |
I have been programming for 6 years... and this is the first book that is not for dummies.
I am really glad to find it. |
| A lot of information. Well organized. From a man who has done an enormous amount of work on C++. 2008-09-12 |
| By D. Brown |
| The C++ Programming Language seems like the most thorough documentation of C++ overall. It's written by the guy who is basically the creator of C++. I tend to have a lot of respect for him. This book has a crazy lot of information in it. It seems well organized but very dense. If you were to learn it all, I would be impressed. |

| The Book Of All Books 2008-07-18 |
| By Steven J. Hoover (L.I.T.H, IL USA) |
What else can I say about the book made by the man himself. Well since I didn't say anything yet, I guess I better get started. (I admit that was bad).
I agree that you need previous knowledge of c++, but if people are going through the c++ books and realizing that they are just repeats of old knowledge you already know, then this book does the least of your concerns.
This book does present you with SOME past information, however it seems to present it much more difficult and ends and starts out with new information much faster than all the other books. And believe me, with all the pages in this book, there seems to be alot to learn about this book. Overall, I'd recommend it to any continuing C++ programmers. 5 out of 5. |
