The most established worldwide educational reference book for programmers who want to use C++ is now in its fourth edition, fully revised and with extensive content for the new C++11 standard. Written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer of C++ and creator of its first implementation, the book covers the entire language in a thorough, analytical, and unified manner: services, abstraction mechanisms, established libraries, and fundamental design techniques. In fact, this fourth American edition makes C++ particularly accessible to programmers coming from C++98 or other programming languages, while presenting topics and techniques that will prove invaluable even to the most knowledgeable C++11 programmers. The new material for C++11 covers: • Support for concurrency • Regular expressions, resource management pointers, random numbers, improved containers • General and uniform initialization, simplified for statements, move semantics, Unicode support • Lambda expressions, general constant expressions, class default control, variable argument list templates, template aliases, user-defined literals • Compatibility issues. Bjarne Stroustrup is a distinguished professor at Texas A&M University and holds the Computer Science Chair in the College of Engineering. He is the author of the book Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ and many other well-known academic publications, actively involved in the ISO standardization of C++, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering of the USA. He holds the distinctions of IEEE Fellow and ACM Fellow.
