Meyers S. Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs

3rd ed. — Addison-Wesley Professional. 2005. — 320 p. — ISBN: 0321334876, 9780321334879.The first edition of this book ranks among the small (very small) number of books that I credit with significantly elevating my skills as a ‘professional’ software developer. Like the others, it was practical and easy to read, but loaded with important
advice. Effective C++, Third Edition, continues that tradition. C++ is a very powerful programming language. If C gives you enough rope to hang yourself, C++ is a hardware store with lots of helpful people ready to tie knots for you. Mastering the points discussed in this book will definitely increase your ability to effectively use C++ and reduce your stress level.About the Author
