โฆ Synopsis
For several years I've taught an advanced undergraduate programming language course using the second edition of this book. Now I think I see why it's priced at $60, and the third edition is only $44. The third edition loses the simplicity and elegance of the second, replacing it with unnecessary abstraction and complexity (expressed versus denoted values), and treating the fun, hands-on part (implementation in Scheme) almost as an afterthought.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This text leads the programmer gently through the basics of Scheme and continues with an introduction to and exercises for some of the more advanced features of the language.
More than 500,000 programmers have benefited from previous editions! This is a complete rewrite of the most widely read and most trusted book on C++. Based on the ANSI/ISO C++ final draft, this book covers the C++ language, its standard library, and key design techniques as an integrated who
C is Unix and C++ is just another Multics in the programming language world. I would consisder C++ a testbed for language design and implementation, but not a successful language. It has lots of features, and most of programmers would be misled and get confused( this culminates in c++0x) Bajarne to
This book introduces standard C++ and the key programming and design techniques supported by C++. Standard C++ is a far more powerful and polished language than the version of C++ introduced by the first edition of this book. New language features such as namespaces, exceptions, templates, and runti
