內容大鋼
有人說C++程序員可以分為兩類，讀過Effective C++的和沒讀過的。世界頂級C++大師Scott Meyers成名之作的第三版的確當得起這樣的評價。當您讀過這本書之後，就獲得了迅速提升自己C++功力的一個契機。
在國際上，本書所引起的反響，波及整個電腦技術的出版領域，餘音至今未絕。幾乎在所有C++書籍的推薦名單上，本書都會位於前三名。作者高超的技術把握力、獨特的視角、詼諧輕鬆的寫作風格、獨具匠心的內容組織，都受到極大的推崇和仿效。這種奇特的現象，只能解釋為人們對這本書衷心的讚美和推崇。
這本書不是讀完一遍就可以束之高閣的快餐讀物，也不是用以解決手邊問題的參考手冊，而是需要您去反覆閱讀體會的，C++是真正程序員的語言，背後有著精深的思想與無以倫比的表達能力，這使得它具有類似宗教般的魅力。希望這本書能夠幫您跨越C++的重重險阻，領略高處才有的壯美風光，做一個成功而快樂的C++程序員。
