100 C++ Mistakes and How To Avoid Themgives you practical insights and techniques to improve your C++ coding kung fu. Author Rich Yontshas been using C++ since its invention in the 1980s. This book distills that experience into practical, reusable advice on how C++ programmers at any skill level can improve their code. Unlike many C++ books that concentrate on language theory and toy exercises, this book is loaded with real examples from production codebases. About the technology: Over ten billion lines of C++ code are running in production applications, and 98-developers find and fix mistakes in them every day. Even mission-critical applications have bugs, performance inefficiencies, and readability problems. This book will help you identify them in the code you';re maintaining and avoid them in the code you';re writing.
