I own the 3rd edition of Stroustrup's THE C++ PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE and
have read most of it, but I find its style to be more suitable for
reference than for tutorial. I still have a lot to learn about
template programming and don't have any experience with 3rd party
libraries, such as Boost. I'm looking to buy two more books that I'm
hoping will help take my C++ programming to the next level. Here are
some of my choices:
Beyond the C++ Standard Library: An Introduction to Boost, Karlsson
C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices, Sutter
The C++ Standard Library Extensions: A Tutorial and Reference, Becker
The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference, Josuttis
C++ Template Metaprogramming: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques from
Boost and Beyond, Abrahams
C++ Templates: The Complete Guide, Vandevoorde
Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs,
3rd Edition, Meyers
Effective STL, Meyers
Exceptional C++ Style: 40 New Engineering Puzzles, Programming
Problems, and Solutions, Sutter
Modern C++ Design, Alexandrescu
I can only afford to buy about two more books for the present. What
choices do you think would give me the most bang for my buck? Are
there others that I have overlooked that would be even more important
to read?
Thanks,
Carl Youngblood
