Professional C++

* Geared to experienced C++ developers who may not be familiarwith the more advanced features of the language, and therefore arenot using it to its full capabilities* Teaches programmers how to think in C++-that is, how to designeffective solutions that maximize the power of the language
* The authors drill down into this notoriously complex language,explaining poorly understood elements of the C++ feature set aswell as common pitfalls to avoid
* Contains several in-depth case studies with working code that'sbeen tested on Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms
