Learn how to apply C++ to a wide array of sophisticated applications. In his clear prose, C++ expert and the worlds leading programming author Herb Schildt, shares practical, high-powered applications of C++, revealing some of the most interesting features of the language in the process.
This is yet another "Examples in C++" style book. I like the author's style of explaining complex topics. The writing is very fluid and the concepts are explained sufficiently. However, this book is no different than long listing of well-document code! I would recommend this book as a second book after an introductory text in C++. If you are capable of reading C++, this book will give you some insights in developing real-world solutions. If you are a professional programmer who is fairly proficient in C++, you might not need this book. The examples in the book are fairly useful (see table of content), but similar code is available on the web for free. For example, if you want to study programming language issues (garbage collection, compilation), you can easily download an opensource project off the web and study it.
A Must-Read For C++ Programmers.

Master programmer Herbert Schildt has done it again! He is back with a book on industrial-strength C++ techniques which are applied skillfully in the sample applications. The C/C++ Interpreter alone is worth the buy! However, please take note that some experience in Windows(R) programming is required as some examples, like the Internet File Downloader, uses the Windows API. Overall, this book is great for intermediate/advanced C++ programmers looking for new ideas.
