✦ Synopsis

Most C++ programmers are not experts, and they often need preliminary education in various C++ language features, coding techniques, and design patterns before they can be fully productive. What they're missing is the common knowledge among experienced C++ programmers, what it takes to write production-quality programs--and that common knowledge is the topic of this book.
