Best book for intermediates !

Buy this book if you are an intermediate in C++ and want to become a GURU in C++. I know i did. Thank you "Bartosz Milewski" for making this amazing book.

this is the one

This is the ONLY book I could get hold of that actually attacked head-on the problem of using C++ and Windows without abandoning object-oriented design and sanity in coding. Maybe Jeffrey Richter has done something as good - I don't know - but I bet he takes three times as many pages to do it. You can work through this book or just read it but either way, your C++ & Win32 skills will be greatly consolidated.The associated ReliSoft website is well worth a look, with some lovely sarcasm about MFC that didn't make it into the book (plus extra stuff on threads, etc.)

Superb!

A book of strategy and tactics for creating dependable and elegant code. The Windows API techniques are reason alone to make this book a favorite. Techniques I wish they had tought in school. I hope there is a sequel to this book titled "Industrial-Strength Windows Programming."

A must-read for any programmer ....Get it now.

if you are a C++ developer,if you ever wanted to do serious Windows development, and create rock solid application for your users to enjoy and have been looking for the right architecture to base your work ...if you have tried MFC ( or any other OWL and the like ) and want to get rid of them, not for the sake of it, but because you think that a 'platform' that generates an 'Hello World' program that is 1.5 Mo and generates 2 pages of warnings when run with BoundsChecker, might not be the right 'platform' for a commercial application ...Then this book is a must have.Part 1 Langage : Although it is not a tutorial per say , as the intention is to summarize the major C++ features that will be used in the rest of the book , it is certainly one of the best tutorials on advanced C++ programming !! just this part is worth buying the book , if you don't plan to develop for Windows.Part2 Techniques : This part covers more advanced topics that will help you build dynamic software : software that don't have any other limits that the capacity of the machine .If 'resource management' doesn't mean much to you, after reading about it, you'll wonder how you did before.And there is no magic tricks : only plain C++ , cleverly used ...Part 3 Windows : A must ! Thought of reusable components, of wrapping the Windows API into an OO entities that can be (really) reused and augmented ? read it!and in fact it is not only about Windows : you can create applications that will be portable to any other 'XEROX Parc' based GUI operating system , but without the 'smallest common denominator' syndrom that strikes most commercial packages aiming at that.Part4 : Scaling up.If your project involves more than one person , this part is full of information and techniques to help you achieve serious 'group development'. And it doesn't come out of thin air : Mr Milewski has been 'building ' those rules on his own experience at MSFT where he was in charge of the Index Server.This guy has a great experience and want to share it. One can't miss such an opportunity.But if you have any doubt , just go to Relisoft web site , take a look at the Web based version of the book and I bet that in no time you'll order the paper version ... BTW you'll also find on their web site additionnal tutorials for more advanced windows techniques , and plenty of other stuff besides Code Co-op which is THE version control system that will enable your group to achieve your goals wether working in the same room or in remote locations.One last word : the audience : anyone that does softare development. The VB developer might find that real programming is not that far away, and the advanced programmer will have the impression that someone did put on paper all the things he has had in the back of his head for years ...Mr Milewski , thanks a lot for your work.

What is C11?

First of all, there is no C11. ... So since we are at it, let me try to explain once more what my book isn't. It's not a book that teaches C++ syntax or programming tricks. If that's what you are looking for, there are much better books out there. Also, if you don't already know some programming, you probably won't be able to learn C++ from this book (unless you are exceptionally bright).However, if you are passionate about programming (just like I am) and you would like to get some insight into what goes into good programming and why--this book is for you. And if, depending on your level of experience, you get stuck in Chapter 3 (the parser), 10 (resource management), or 16 (Windows), don't give up. Take a break, write (or rewrite) some programs, and come back after a few weeks or months (hopefuly not years).
