9780596004965 | C++ Pocket Reference

Programmers who need instant on-the-job reminders about C++ syntax and language elements will appreciate this handy go-anywhere pocket reference. Rather than tackle the many corners of this vast and complex language, C++ Pocket Reference is a highly focused reference to the most vital and often-used aspects necessary for writing good, clean applications. It serves as a companion to our more detailed book, Practical C++ Programming. Included is an introduction to C++, followed by short sections on topics such as classes, data types and memory management, with pointed examples and a brief list of tips. Professional developers and students alike will be amazed how much information can fit in such a small, inexpensive package.

Kyle Loudon is a software engineer at Matrix Semiconductor in Santa Clara, California, where he works with file systems and applications for memory chips. Prior to Matrix, Kyle developed platform software for embedded devices, including various wireless phones and the Apple iPod. He also led the graphical user interface group at Jeppesen Dataplan (now a part of Boeing), developed flight planning software, and created system software at IBM in the early 1990s. For the past several years, Kyle has taught object-oriented programming using C++ at the University of California, Santa Cruz Extension, and has worked with C++ since the beginning of its widespread use in 1990. Kyle is the author of Mastering Algorithms with C, also published by O'Reilly and Associates.
