''Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms '' By JamesCoplien http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0201548550.01._PE_PI_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg [ISBN 0201548550] ''"Assuming a background in C++ basics, this book helps programmers to develop their programming expertise by giving a feel for the styles and idioms of the language."'' -- Book News Inc. ''"The rules, conventions, and concepts of programming drive the structure of the systems we build: They give us a model of how to build systems. A model for problem decomposition and system composition is a paradigm, a pattern for dividing the world into manageable parts. C++ is a multiparadigm language. C programmers use C++ as a better C. Object-oriented advocates do everything polymorphically. In fact, a variety of approaches is usually necessary to express the solution to a software problem efficiently and elegantly."''-- Inside Flap See: http://www1.bell-labs.com/topic/books/AdvancedC++/preface.html ---- See also JimCoplien for the main page about the author. ---- CategoryBook CategoryCpp CategoryIdiom
