In-depth coverage of every useful feature C++ has to offer. An invaluable reference for anyone needing to learn the ins and outs of C++. Also has an excellent chapter covering the abstraction of objects. A must-read.
Being an IT guy, I have lots of programming manuals and books. Bruce Eckel is one of the better technical writers. I haven't reviewed many of my technical books for Goodreads. And this one is rather old, yet it is full of good information on both the specific language of C++; on coding philosophies and on specific techniques. Bruce wrote a similar tome on Java. This book can be a template for how to write a good reference manual.
