All three are finally available together in this eBook collection. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eEffective C++\u003c\/i\u003e has been embraced by hundreds of thousands of programmers worldwide. The reason is clear: Scott Meyers’s practical approach to C++ describes the rules of thumb used by the experts to produce clear, correct, efficient code. The book is organized around 55 specific guidelines, each of which describes a way to write better C++. Each is backed by concrete examples. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eMore Effective C++\u003c\/i\u003e, Meyers presents 35 ways to improve your programs and designs. Drawing on years of experience, Meyers explains how to write software that is more effective: more efficient, more robust, more consistent, more portable, and more reusable. In short, how to write C++ software that’s just plain better.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEffective STL\u003c\/i\u003e, Meyers goes beyond describing what's in the STL to show you how to use it. Each of the book’s 50 guidelines is backed by Meyers’s legendary analysis and incisive examples, so you’ll learn not only what to do, but also when to do it–and why.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTogether in this collection, these books include the following important features:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  Expert guidance on the design of effective classes, functions, templates, and inheritance hierarchies.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Applications of new “TR1” standard library functionality, along with comparisons to existing standard library components.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Insights into differences between C++ and other languages (e.g., Java, C#, C) that help developers from those languages assimilate “the C++ way” of doing things.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Proven methods for improving program efficiency, including incisive examinations of the time\/space costs of C++ language features  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Comprehensive descriptions of advanced techniques used by C++ experts, including placement new, virtual constructors, smart pointers, reference counting, proxy classes, and double-dispatching  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Examples of the profound impact of exception handling on the structure and behavior of C++ classes and functions  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Practical treatments of new language features, including bool, mutable, explicit, namespaces, member templates, the Standard Template Library, and more. If your compilers don’t yet support these features, Meyers shows you how to get the job done without them.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Advice on choosing among standard STL containers (like vector and list), nonstandard STL containers (like hash_set and hash_map), and non-STL containers (like bitset).  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Techniques to maximize the efficiency of the STL and the programs that use it.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Insights into the behavior of iterators, function objects, and allocators, including things you should not do.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Guidance for the proper use of algorithms and member functions whose names are the same (e.g., find), but whose actions differ in subtle (but important) ways.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Discussions of potential portability problems, including straightforward ways to avoid them. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pearson Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119798698224,"sku":"9780132979184","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780132979184_p0.jpg?v=1763640902","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780132979184","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
