C++ for the real world
Professional C++ is filled with useful realistic examples that many (I hope) C++ programmers can apply directly. A lot of useful solutions to various topics are discussed; my favorite is the discussion about Internationalization and XML. But thats not the end...
The book contains an eye-opening chapter on design patterns that is so easy to understand, follow and apply. I hope the authors will come up with another book on C++ and design patterns full with useful examples (something like Head First Design Patterns) just like the ones in this book.
You will need a minimal [working] experience with C++ to really appreciate this book. A good start will be Lippman's Essential C++ (if you are on a diet) or Prata's C++ Primer Plus (if you want to gain extra weight).
Finally, this book is platform-neutral. I did not find myself in need to boot MS-Windows to use the information in this book.
