C++ is big and complicated, but most working professionals don't need to venture into the deep, dark corners of the language. They need a quick reference to the most important and most often used aspects of C++. C++ in a Nutshell fills the bill. The book's library reference is organized by header file, and each library chapter and class declaration presents the classes and types in alphabetical order, for easy lookup. Cross- references link related methods, classes, and other key features. This is an ideal reference for students as well as professional programmers.
