The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference:- By Nicolai M. Josuttis

The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference is the programmers' guide to the C++ Standard Library. The C++ Standard Library is a full set of components, interfaces, algorithms, containers, and data structures that can be used and reused in building object-oriented software. Through the use of strong examples that support the major components of the standard library, this book enables programmers to effectively work through the massive number of classes, methods, interfaces, and objects known as the Standard C++ Library. It is an example-driven guide that will help developers utilize the reusable components of the standard library quickly and efficiently.

Thumbs Up Re: Good Book to learn Java?

The Java Handbook
by Patrick Naughton, Michael Morrison
Publisher: Osborne/McGraw-Hill
ISBN: 0-078-82199-1
Pages: 424
Price: $27.95
Publication Date: April, 1996
Bottom Line: In Print
This is the first Java book that gave me the feeling that the author actually understood and was comfortable with the material. This is probably because Naughton's been working with Java longer than almost anyone, having been part of the original Green Project. Whether it's explaining what a Factory is or why they're so many do-nothing methods in java.net.URLConnection, you believe he actually knows this stuff. By comparison everyone else seems to be learning as they go along. The epilogue about the genesis of Java is particularly unique and fascinating (though not always accurate. I can't imagine he really had a Newton to critique in 1991). After reading this you'll be amazed that Java really happened.


Concurrent Programming in Java: Design Principles and Patterns
by Doug Lea

Publisher: Addison-Wesley
ISBN: 0-201-69581-2
Pages: 352
Price: $39.95
Publication Date: November, 1996
Bottom Line: Recycle It
Superseded by the second edition.


The Java Virtual Machine Specification
by Tim Lindholm, Frank Yellin, Bill Joy, Kathy Walrath

Publisher: Addison-Wesley
ISBN: 0-201-63452-X
Pages: 400
Price: $31.05
Publication Date: September, 1996
Bottom Line: Buy It
If you're doing anything with the virtual machine, or if you just want to know what's going on behind the scenes, then you need this book.


Java in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference for Java Programmers
by David Flanagan

Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
ISBN: 1-565-92183-6
Pages: 460
Price: $19.95
Publication Date: May, 1996
Bottom Line: Buy It
An excellent introduction to Java for C programmers, an excellent reference for everyone, and a bargain at $19.95.


The Java AWT Reference
by John Zukowski

Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
ISBN: 1-565-92240-9
Pages: 1045
Price: $39.95
Publication Date: April, 1997
Bottom Line: Buy It
This large gem of a book is often overlooked in favor of the second volume of the The Java Class Libraries: An Annotated Reference. However in many respects I think this is the superior book. While, Chan and Lee is more comprehensive and more likely to explain some particular obscure method, Zukowski does a much better job of showing you the broader picture of how the different parts of the AWT fit together and how they're properly used. For example, so far this is the only book I've read that correctly explains modal dialogs.


The Java Language Specification
by James Gosling , Bill Joy, Guy Steele

Publisher: Addison-Wesley
ISBN: 0-201-63451-1
Pages: 720
Price: $31.05
Publication Date: September, 1996
Bottom Line: Browse It
For experts only. This book is full of turgid paragraphs like:


The arguments in the argument list, if any, are used to select a constructor declared in the body of the named class type, using the same matching rules as for method invocations (15.11), a compile-time method matching error results if there is no unique constructor that is both applicable to the provided arguments and the most specific of all the applicable constructors.
(p. 314) I generally have to read something at least three times before I understand what is being said. However, the Java Language Specification is often the only place where you can find out why your code won't compile. You don't need this book often, and you certainly can't learn Java from it; but when you need it, you need it badly. Fortunately it's available online so I recommend you view it there, and only buy a copy if you find you make frequent recourse to it.
