Stephen Dewhurst, a C++ expert with over 20 years of experience using C++ in a variety of fields, tackles the most important but often misunderstood topics in C++ programming and design, while sifting through unnecessary technicalities. In one slim volume, Steve has packed what he and his reviewers, experienced consultants and authors, consider essential for effective C++ programming.

The book is addressed to those who have experience programming in C++ and feel the need quickly improve your knowledge of C++ to a professional level. The publication is also useful for qualified C or Java programmers who have little experience in designing and developing complex code in C++ and are inclined to program in C++ in the Java style.
