Product Description:
Despite its highly adaptable and flexible nature, C++ is also one of the more complex programming languages to learn. Once mastered, however, it can help you organize and process information with amazing efficiency and quickness.
The 'C++ Cookbook' will make your path to mastery much shorter. This practical, problem-solving guide is ideal if you're an engineer, programmer, or researcher writing an application for one of the legions of platforms on which C++ runs. The algorithms provided in 'C++ Cookbook' will jump-start your development by giving you some basic building blocks that you don't have to develop on your own.
Less a tutorial than a problem-solver, the book addresses many of the most common problems you're likely encounter--whether you've been programming in C++ for years or you're relatively new to the language. Here are just some of the time-consuming tasks this book contains practical solutions for:
Reading the contents of a directory
Creating a singleton class
Date and time parsing/arithmetic
String and text manipulation
Working with files
Parsing XML
Using the standard containers
Typical of O'Reilly's 'Cookbook' series, 'C++ Cookbook' is written in a straightforward format, featuring recipes that contain problem statements and code solutions, and apply not to hypothetical situations, but those that you're likely to encounter. A detailed explanation then follows each recipe in order to show you how and why the solution works. This question-solution-discussion format is a proven teaching method, as any fan of the 'Cookbook' series can attest to. This book will move quickly to the top of your list of essential C++ references.

Rating: - C++ books
A good book in a nice and handable format to take a look at the most importance topics in the c++ programming
Rating:  - COOKING WITH C++!!
Are you a C++ programmer? If you are, then this book is for you. Authors D. Ryan Stephens, Christopher Diggins, Jonathan Turkanis and Jeff Cogswell, have done an outstanding job of writing a book about solving common problems with C++, but not a book about learning C++.
Stephens, Diggins, Turkanis and Cogswell, begin by showing you recipes that contain recipes for transforming C++ source code into executable programs and libraries. Then, the authors show you recipes that describe techniques ... Read More
Rating: - Good Book For New C++ Programmers
The 'C++ Cookbook' is a great resource for any developer that might be new to or still mastering the C++ programming language. Packed with over 500 pages and broken up into 15 chapters, this book is well written and easy to follow. My main "gripe" with this book is that when I think of a cookbook, many times it's full of solutions are less well known, or slightly more challenging tasks that the average programmer might not know the solution to. With this cookbook, I feel it's geared more towards the more ... Read More
Rating:  - Nice programs, if only they'd compile!
This book contains a lot of clever code fragments. Unfortunately I've found numerous bugs in them and some code fails to compile all together. Take for example the author's matrix class, it uses nested templates (partial specialization) which does not work on most compilers, including the latest VC++. At the very least then, the cookbook should have provided alternate means of achieving the task given that Visual C++ is listed as a supported compiler. In other areas I have found bugs and poor initializations. ... Read More
Rating: - A very good book of C++ recipes!
Unlike a self-proclaimed "C++ Wizard," I'm of the opinion that this book is inherently useful in many ways, even for experienced programmers. Basically, it offers several ways to tackle various programming challenges with C++-centric solutions.
Whining about brace style is a hopelessly lost cause. K&R style braces save lines and reduces page count in the publishing industry. Get used to it or get out of it, I say.
However, this isn't a rant.
There is a good portion of ... Read More
