Book of the Week: Effective C++

22 Sep 2016

This week I read Effective C++ Second Edition, because it was on the bookshelf at work. This book was published in 1998, which was around the time I learned C++. I have about 20 years of programming experience. Wow, I’m old. After going through book, I realized I had a really good programming instructor, because most of these tips were ingrained into me by Mr. Simon. Although the book is good, you should probably read the newer edition of the book. I don’t think they program C++ now the same way they did in the 1990s. Some books describe a programming language. This book shows you best practices when using the language.
