Scott Meyers Books

Presents a collection of tips for programmers on how to use the features of C++11 and C++14 effectively, covering such topics as functions, rvalue references, and lambda expressions.

The Barnes & Noble ReviewSince early in the 90s, working C++ programmers have relied on Scott Meyers s Effective C++ to dramatically improve their skills. But the state-of-the-art has moved forward dramatically since Meyers last updated this book in 1997. (For instance, there s now STL. Design patterns. Even new functionality being added through TR1 and Boost.) So Meyers has done a top-to-bottom rewrite, identifying the 55 most valuable techniques you need now to be exceptionally effective with C++. Over half of this edition s content is new. Templates broadly impact C++ development, and you ll find them everywhere. There s extensive coverage of multithreaded systems. There s an entirely new chapter on resource management. You ll find substantial new coverage of exceptions. Much is gained, but nothing s lost: You ll find the same depth of practical insight that first made Effective C++ a classic all those years ago.

Presents 35 ways to improve your programs and designs. This work explains how to write software that is more effective. It contains methods for improving program efficiency, including incisive examinations of the time/space costs of C++ language features; descriptions of advanced techniques used by C++ experts; and more.

Providing information on C++'s Standard Template Library, this book shows you how to use it. It includes: advice on choosing among standard STL containers, nonstandard STL containers, and non-STL containers; techniques to maximize the efficiency of the STL and the programs that use it; insights into the behavior of iterators; and more. schovat popis

An io9 Can't Miss Science Fiction and Fantasy title in March 2014. Martin Banks is just a normal guy who has made an abnormal discovery: he can manipulate reality, thanks to reality being nothing more than a computer program. With every use of this ability, though, Martin finds his little "tweaks" have not escaped notice. Rather than face prosecution, he decides instead to travel back in time to the Middle Ages and pose as a wizard. What could possibly go wrong? An American hacker in King Arthur's court, Martin must now train to become a full-fledged master of his powers, discover the truth behind the ancient wizard Merlin...and not, y'know, die or anything.

Focused on enhancing Python programming skills, this book offers 90 specific ways to write better Python code. It covers a range of topics, including best practices for functions, data structures, and concurrency. Each item is presented with clear explanations and practical examples, making complex concepts accessible. The author emphasizes not just how to use Python effectively, but also why certain approaches are preferable, helping readers to think critically about their coding decisions and improve their overall programming proficiency.
