C++ Gems

The support of the C++ Report by the pioneers of the language has always made it a popular magazine. Stan Lippman, former C++ Report Editor (and best-selling author), brings you pearls of wisdom for getting the most out of C++. This carefully selected collection covers the first seven years of the C++ Report, from January 1989 through December 1995. It presents the pinnacle of writing on C++ by renowned experts in the field, and is a must-read for today's C++ programmer. It contains tips, tricks, proven strategies, easy-to-follow techniques, and usable source code. This collection includes the work of John J. Barton, Pete Becker, Bill Berg, Grady Booch, Tom Cargill, Steve Clamage, James Coplien, Steve Dewhurst, Richard Hickey, David Jordan, Michael Kim, Andy Koenig, Tasos Kontogiorgos, Josèe Lajoie, Doug Lea, Nathan Myers, Lee Nackman, Ed Rowlance, Doug Schmidt, Jerry Schwarz, Bjarne Stroustrup, Steve Teale, Michael Stiemann, Todd Veldhuizen, Mike Vilot, John Vlissides, and Jim Waldo.
