C++ in a Nutshell (Paperback)

C++ in a Nutshell packs an enormous amount of information on C++ (and the many libraries used with it) in an indispensable quick reference for those who live in a deadline-driven world and need the facts but not the frills. Cross-references link related methods, classes, and other key features. This is an ideal resource for students as well as professional programmers.
