Product Author Bios
Bjarne Stroustrup is the designer and original implementer of C++, the author of The C++ Programming Language, The Annotated C++ Reference Manual, and The Design and Evolution of C++, and the consulting editor of Addison-Wesley's C++ In-Depth Series. Having previously worked at Bell Labs and AT&T Labs-Research, he currently is the College of Engineering Chair in Computer Science Professor at Texas A&M University. The recipient of numerous honors, including the Dr. Dobb's Excellence in Programming Award (2008), Dr. Stroustrup is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, an AT&T Fellow, an AT&T Bell Laboratories Fellow, an IEEE Fellow, and an ACM Fellow. His research interests include distributed systems, simulation, design, programming techniques, software development tools, and programming languages, and he remains actively involved in the ANSI/ISO standardization of C++. Dr. Stroustrup holds an advanced degree from the University of Aarhus in his native Denmark and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cambridge University, England.
The new C++11 standard allows programmers to express ideas more clearly, simply, and directly, and to write faster, more efficient code. Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of C++, has reorganized, extended, and completely rewritten his definitive reference and tutorial for programmers who want to use C++ most effectively.
The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, delivers meticulous, richly explained, and integrated coverage of the entire language—its facilities, abstraction mechanisms, standard libraries, and key design techniques. Throughout, Stroustrup presents concise, “pure C++11” examples, which have been carefully crafted to clarify both usage and program design. To promote deeper understanding, the author provides extensive cross-references, both within the book and to the ISO standard.
New C++11 coverage includes
- Support for concurrency
- Regular expressions, resource management pointers, random numbers, and improved containers
- General and uniform initialization, simplified for-statements, move semantics, and Unicode support
- Lambdas, general constant expressions, control over class defaults, variadic templates, template aliases, and user-defined literals
- Compatibility issues
Topics addressed in this comprehensive book include
- Basic facilities: type, object, scope, storage, computation fundamentals, and more
- Modularity, as supported by namespaces, source files, and exception handling
- C++ abstraction, including classes, class hierarchies, and templates in support of a synthesis of traditional programming, object-oriented programming, and generic programming
- Standard Library: containers, algorithms, iterators, utilities, strings, stream I/O, locales, numerics, and more
- The C++ basic memory model, in depth
This fourth edition makes C++11 thoroughly accessible to programmers moving from C++98 or other languages, while introducing insights and techniques that even cutting-edge C++11 programmers will find indispensable.
This book features an enhanced, layflat binding, which allows the book to stay open more easily when placed on a flat surface. This special binding method—noticeable by a small space inside the spine—also increases durability.

The classic with C++11 now!!! Great Book, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The C++ Programming Language, 4th Edition (Paperback)
THis is a great book. Notice that this is a book for someone that knows how to program. In special, this is a book for someone that is interested in learning more about the language from the creator from C++ and also be able to use it as a reference. However, reading the book as a reference, I think is a lost for the details he gives in the book.I do have to agree with the other reviewer, that this has the best typefont from all previous version and extremely nice "blue" font for the source code... Blue is my favorite... The compatibility chapter (at the end of the book) is useful when dealing with vc98 and c++11. If you are a C++ programmer, I think this book is a must. I have many C++ books... from the ones that have come out with c++11 , I think the new STL book, and C++ professional are also great books. Finally, I want to talk about the cover. I was thinking why? Why this cover? I'm not sure why he picked the cover... But I can... Read more

much better typeface/font than previous versions, By

This review is from: The C++ Programming Language, 4th Edition (Paperback)
One thing I really dislike about all the previous versions of this classic book on the C++ programming language was their typeface/font for codes was black and cursive which made them hard to read and differentiate from the text. However in this edition the typeface/font for codes has change to blue and Sans serif kind of font which makes reading much more eligible and distinguishable from content text. Although I have not read through the book but I have no doubt the content shall set a new standard for the latest c++ programming language books in addition to its hugely improved typesetting.
