C++, although a marvelous language, isn t perfect. Matthew Wilson has been working with it for over a decade, and during that time he has found inherent limitations that require skillful workarounds. In this book, he doesn t just tell you what s wrong with C++, but offers practical techniques and tools for writing code that s more robust, flexible, efficient, and maintainable. He shows you how to tame C++ s complexity, cut through its vast array of paradigms, take back control over your code--and get far better results
