Read on Hacker News…ly meant you know exactly what you're asking the compiler to do. For that, I have used Effective C++ (don't forget -Weffc++ flag in GCC), Exceptional C++, Effective STL, The C++ Standard LIbrary (Josuttis) as reference and reading. They have helped a lot. Now, I look into boost source tree once in a while to see how they do certain things or to debug some boost libraries. Nowadays that's where most of my learning comes from. "In C++ it's harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg." — Bjarne Stroustrup
Read on Hacker NewsI also had to learn C++ fast, and "Accelerated C++", by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo was great. The book assumes you are a programmer, it's not dumbed down and most importantly it's only around 300 pages. In the time contraints I had (a month) I couldn't afford to deal with Lippman's C++ Primer or Stroustrup bible (both reknowned books, but over 900 pages). You don't even need to finish Accelerated C++ to start coding in C++. http://www.acceleratedcpp.com/ For STL, I recommend Josuttis's "The C++ Standard Library". It's a STL reference book, very complete and easy to browse. There are also brief examples on own to use the classes and templates. http://www.josuttis.com/libbook/
Read on Hacker NewsJosuttis' "The C++ Standard Library" is the most heavily thumbed through C++ book at work.
