- By Scott Meyers. 8 thoughts on “ Scott Meyers’ C11 Materials: The Best Available Overview of C11 ” Scott Meyers says: 2011-11-05 at 6:53 pm I have a MEAP copy (the paper book is currently scheduled for December publication), and I wholeheartedly recommend the book. Bear in mind that it’s not on C11 in general, it.
- 'Effective C' by Scott Meyers is a digital PDF ebook for direct download to PC, Mac, Notebook, Tablet, iPad, iPhone, Smartphone, eReader - but not for Kindle. A DRM capable reader equipment is required.
Effective C++ has been embraced by hundreds of thousands of programmers worldwide. The reason is clear: Scott Meyers’s practical approach to C++ describes the rules of thumb used by the experts to produce clear, correct, efficient code. The book is organized around 55 specific guidelines, each of which describes a way to write better C++. Each is backed by concrete examples.
In More Effective C++, Meyers presents 35 ways to improve your programs and designs. Drawing on years of experience, Meyers explains how to write software that is more effective: more efficient, more robust, more consistent, more portable, and more reusable. In short, how to write C++ software that’s just plain better.
In Effective STL, Meyers goes beyond describing what's in the STL to show you how to use it. Each of the book’s 50 guidelines is backed by Meyers’s legendary analysis and incisive examples, so you’ll learn not only what to do, but also when to do it–and why.
More than 150,000 copies in print! Praise for Scott Meyers' first book, Effective C: 'I heartily recommend Effective C to anyone who aspires to mastery of C at the intermediate level or above.' - The C/C User's Journal From the author of the indispensable Effective C, here are 35 new ways to improve your programs and designs.
Together in this collection, these books include the following important features:
Expert guidance on the design of effective classes, functions, templates, and inheritance hierarchies. Applications of new “TR1” standard library functionality, along with comparisons to existing standard library components. Insights into differences between C++ and other languages (e.g., Java, C#, C) that help developers from those languages assimilate “the C++ way” of doing things. Proven methods for improving program efficiency, including incisive examinations of the time/space costs of C++ language features Comprehensive descriptions of advanced techniques used by C++ experts, including placement new, virtual constructors, smart pointers, reference counting, proxy classes, and double-dispatching Examples of the profound impact of exception handling on the structure and behavior of C++ classes and functions Practical treatments of new language features, including bool, mutable, explicit, namespaces, member templates, the Standard Template Library, and more. If your compilers don’t yet support these features, Meyers shows you how to get the job done without them. Advice on choosing among standard STL containers (like vector and list), nonstandard STL containers (like hash_set and hash_map), and non-STL containers (like bitset). Techniques to maximize the efficiency of the STL and the programs that use it. Insights into the behavior of iterators, function objects, and allocators, including things you should not do. Guidance for the proper use of algorithms and member functions whose names are the same (e.g., find), but whose actions differ in subtle (but important) ways. Discussions of potential portability problems, including straightforward ways to avoid them.Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

If you are a programmer, you must read it! It is full of good exapmles of how to write better code and design things right.

I have owned this book for several years and typically re-read it about every year or so. To say that a book is necessary reading is sometimes hyperbolic, but if you want to understand C++ then it is probably the truth in this case, if less so than for Meyers' first book. Meyers has written three books on C++ - 'Effective C++', this volume, and 'Effective STL'. You, fellow programmer, need them all. Plus 'Design Patterns', of course. Stroustrup and the ACR probably belong beside them, but Meyers...more

Skip this book. There's some interesting and useful content relating to exceptions and casting, in case you haven't encountered that advice elsewhere, but otherwise the material is largely dated. In addition, some of the recommendations in the Techniques section are IMO too clever by half, and not really good advice for maintainable software. Meyers is a great author with a great understanding of C++, but this book should be left behind in favor of other ones.
Many things in this book didn't seem very interesting to me. Some of them I knew before, some have doubtful use in a modern programming.
Some of the presented techniques were trying to solve problems that you should almost never try to solve: e. g. find out if your object is constructed on the heap or force that there are at most N objects of your class.

Unfortunately, this one is not as good as the others Effective C++.
It's less practical and too wordy.

I get why Scott Meyers is such a celebrated author in the C++ world.
This is a sequel to the Effective C++ but is older because it was last edited in 1996-97.
There is a lot of wisdom and effective design issues discussed in the book. There is also the miscellany section which will help you become a better C++ programmer if not immediately providing you something practical.

This particular book is rather old among the other books in the series but very helpful nonetheless. All books by Scott Meyers are just must-read for any C++ dev (arguably even more so than the books by the language author himself). What I like about the book (and the whole series) is that they do not meticulously list all the language features where the API reference can suffice. Rather, they provide a practical advice on how to use C++ effectively (and efficiently) while avoiding the numerous...more

Never aging classic, although some items from 1995 are deprecated - like auto_ptr. Most of all liked the 'Techniques'- Items. It was a pleasure to read about reference counting, double dispatch and prohibiting heap-based objects.

It was really great: I learn a lot of things about C++ designs and language traps. I give it 4/5 because it's a little dated (edited in 1997): few things were already explained in Effective C++ Third Edition (edited recently), and compilers now support most of the 'future' features mentioned.
Beside this, the book it's really good, I hope it will come out with a new edition.
I'll start soon the third book of Meyers (Effective STL)

I found most of the book to be a little too wordy and some of the examples are not as concise as they could've been. But some tips were useful. The author talks mostly about general concepts that apply to c++ without too much referencing to STL. It's a very good book for people without too much experience with c++.

The inspiration behind most designs in the Origin baseline. Skip Effective C++ and jump right to this gem.
Good read, A bit out-dated and most of it has now been covered in Effective C++ (Third Edition) so should just read that instead :)

Very insightful, but a little dated, hence only 4/5 stars.
One of the must-read books for learning C++

This is the best C++ book I read so far. (you should already know the basics of the language).
It is also incredibly scary in some parts.
