Despite its highly adaptable and flexible nature, C++ is also one of the more complex programming languages to learn. Once mastered, however, it can help you organize and process information with amazing efficiency and quickness.
The C++ Cookbook will make your path to mastery much shorter. This practical, problem-solving guide is ideal if you're an engineer, programmer, or researcher writing an application for one of the legions of platforms on which C++ runs. The algorithms provided in C++ Cookbook will jump-start your development by giving you some basic building blocks that you don't have to develop on your own.
Less a tutorial than a problem-solver, the book addresses many of the most common problems you're likely encounter--whether you've been programming in C++ for years or you're relatively new to the language. Here are just some of the time-consuming tasks this book contains practical solutions for:
Reading the contents of a directory
Creating a singleton class
Date and time parsing/arithmetic
String and text manipulation
Working with files
Parsing XML
Using the standard containers
Typical of O'Reilly's "Cookbook" series, C++ Cookbook is written in a straightforward format, featuring recipes that contain problem statements and code solutions, and apply not to hypothetical situations, but those that you're likely to encounter. A detailed explanation then follows each recipe in order to show you how and why the solution works. This question-solution-discussion format is a proven teaching method, as any fan of the "Cookbook" series can attest to. This book will move quickly to the top of your list of essential C++ references.

"Lange Zeit hatten Perl- und Java-Entwickler ihren C++-Kollegen eines voraus: ein Cookbook von O'Reilly. Das ändert sich nun mit dem vorliegenden C++ Cookbook. Es folgt wie erwartet dem gewohnten Schema, typische Probleme und deren Lösung vorzustellen. Dabei werden, soweit möglich, die Standardwerkzeuge der Programmiersprache verwendet und nur im Notfall auf externe Bibliotheken (hier besonders die freien boost-Bibliotheken) zurückgegriffen. [...]
Ich empfehle dieses Buch besonders C++-Einsteigern, die bereits über Grundkenntnisse verfügen und vermeiden wollen, ihre Zeit mit dem Lösen von Standardproblemen zu verbringen. Der fortgeschrittene Entwickler findet in diesem Buch effiziente und einfache Lösungen für alltägliche Aufgaben und kann von den ausführlichen Hintergrundinformationen profitieren." - Kai Wurm, Linux Usergroup der Studentensiedlung Freiburg, Januar 2006
