["Design & Evolution of C++]
But you don't have any that were written by the guy who defined the language...yungman said:I have 6 books on C++ already, let someone else have it.
Ha ha, I have C++ books stacking up, not to mention Amazon first lost the Beginning C++17 by Ivor Horton, they sent me another one, then two weeks later, the first one arrived! I am using the second one to prop up my laptop to raise the height!Mark44 said:But you don't have any that were written by the guy who defined the language...
Give away one of the two copies, and get the book that comes from the horse's mouth. A book by the acknowledged master, with all the information in one place, is better than a slew of videos.yungman said:Ha ha, I have C++ books stacking up, not to mention Amazon first lost the Beginning C++17 by Ivor Horton, they sent me another one, then two weeks later, the first one arrived!
In my experience, book from the person that invent the subject is more likely much harder for learning than other books. I remember self studying the most famous analog IC design book by Gray and Mayer. Gray was a professor in US Berkley, it's a very hard book to read. In the company, they put videos of his lectures during lunch time everyday those days, it was sooooooo boring, I sat there all the time...NOT to listen, but to snooze! His voice just made me fall asleep right away!jtbell said:I have a copy of "Design and Evolution of C++", from the days when I was learning everything I could about C++ so I could teach it. I enjoyed reading it, but it's definitely not a "how to program" book. It's more of a historical memoir, with lots of technical details and discussion about decisions that Stroustrup made when designing C++, and changes from one version to another.
