A collation of over 2000 reviews that have appeared in ACCU journals.

Contains source code and errata. (Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo)

Delivers a valuable set of tried-and-true rules, guidelines, and best practices condensed into 101 concise one- and two-page items. (Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu)

This book shows how to take advantage of the new C++ Standard and Technical Report 2 (TR2) to write robust multi-threaded applications in C++.

Contains free introductory chapters and appendices about compatibility with C, locales, and the standard library's exception safety. (Bjarne Stroustrup)

On-line introduction and support page with Standard Library quick reference on-line, source code, exercises and solutions, and errata. (Pablo Halpern)

Introduces a comprehensive introduction to templates and their applications, based on a detailed presentation of the language mechanisms and the techniques it supports. Includes the table of contents, code examples, and an errata. (David Vandevoorde and Nicolai M. Josuttis)

Code Craft will help take programming beyond writing correct code to writing great code. (Pete Goodliffe)

This book provides information and detailed discussions of key design decisions that will add to the expert's understanding. (Bjarne Stroustrup)

Each of this book's 50 guidelines summarizes a way to write better C++, and the accompanying discussions are backed by specific examples. Contains 4 sample items and updates/errata. (Scott Meyers)

Demonstrates the potential of C++ to produce highly efficient programs. Focuses on practical, everyday object-oriented design principles and C++ coding techniques that can yield large performance improvements. (Dov Bulka and David Mayhew)

Offers a fast-track to learning and working with C++ on the job. (Stanley B. Lippman)

Focuses on in-depth coverage of generic programming and the C++ standard library, along with exception safety, class design, memory and resource management, optimization and efficiency. (Herb Sutter)

Shows by example how to go about sound software engineering in standard C++. (Herb Sutter)

Annotated list of free online programming books. Topics range from beginner to advanced. Descriptions, publishing information, links.

Offers practical techniques and tools for writing code that's more robust, flexible, efficient, and maintainable. It shows how to tame C++'s complexity, cut through its vast array of paradigms, and take back control over the code. (Matthew Wilson)

Introduces the concept of generic components--reusable design templates that produce boilerplate code for compiler consumption--all within C++. Contains free sample chapter and C++ library source code. (Andrei Alexandrescu)

Meyers explains how to write software that is more effective: more efficient, more robust, more consistent, more portable, and more reusable. Contains 4 sample items and updates/errata. (Scott Meyers)

Provides tested techniques and practical solutions for programmers designing modern software systems with C++, from small projects to enterprise applications. (Herb Sutter)
