C++ Primer 2nd ed.

The third edition of the C++ Primer combines Stanley Lippman's practical experience with Josee Lajoie's inside knowledge of the ANSI/ISO Standard C++. This tutorial is rewritten to describe the features and programming usage of Standard C++. Especially useful for developers new to C++ are the many real-world programming examples that illustrate the design of generic and object-oriented programs, the use of templates, and other aspects of program design using Standard C++.

In addition, the C++ Primer provides usage and efficiency guidelines where appropriate.
