C++ Cookbook
Despite its highly adaptable and flexible nature, C++ is
also one of the more complex programming languages to learn.
Once mastered, however, it can help you organize and process
information with amazing efficiency and quickness.
The C++ Cookbook will make your path to mastery much
shorter. This practical, problem-solving
guide is ideal if
you're an engineer, programmer, or researcher writing an
application for one of the legions of platforms on which C++
runs. The algorithms provided in C++ Cookbook will
jump-start your development by giving you some basic
building blocks that you don't have to develop on your own.
Less a tutorial than a problem-solver, the book addresses
many of the most common problems you're likely
encounter--whether you've been programming in C++ for years
or you're relatively new to the language. Here are just
some of the time-consuming tasks this book contains
practical solutions for:
Reading the contents of a directory
Creating a singleton class
Date and time parsing/arithmetic
String and text manipulation
Working with files
Parsing XML
Using the standard containers
Typical of O'Reilly's "Cookbook" series, C++ Cookbook is
written in a straightforward format, featuring recipes that
contain problem statements and code solutions, and apply
not to hypothetical situations, but those that you're likely
to encounter. A detailed explanation then follows each
recipe in order to show you how and why the solution works.
This question-solution-discussion format is a proven
teaching method, as any fan of the "Cookbook" series can
attest to. This book will move quickly to the top of your
list of essential C++ references.
