Review: Careful Diagnosis of C++11 and C++14 - Honesty about C++ and the things that can really help you and those things you should manage carefully is what I like most about this book. The author did an exception job helping the reader navigate through C++ to understand the essence of those things that can benefit or most imperil them when using the language. You do need to have a general understanding of C++ before reading the book. Particularly, recent publications from Bjarne Stroustrup would be very helpful. Some knowledge of the STL could be helpful but not entirely necessary. You do not need to be fully versed in OOP or other programming paradigms. The book is paradigm agnostic. It focuses strictly on C++ programming language capabilities and a few standards approved capabilities represented through C++. Sometimes a good approach to knowledge involves the long way. It seems best to avoid certain shortcuts since good insights may be absent or unavailable when needed. However, there are shorter paths to understanding that are indeed productive. This book is one of those. Rather than spend months or years contending with many of missteps possible without the knowledge presented here, the author makes your use of C++ far more productive and reliable. Optimal ways to use capabilities in C++ are discussed and demonstrated. You can also read the book and get the impression that some parts of C++11 and C++14 are screwed up. That would be an incorrect view. I am referring to the parts of the book that show that some features of C++ are not what they seem on the surface. A great example are lambdas and their relationship to memory leaks if used improperly. What I see is that certain features or not designed wrong but they are not designed to be used all the time. C++ is like the computer language equivalent of Lego blocks. Not all pieces are designed to be used everywhere and in every case. It also means that when you use C++, you don't really straight code in it like you might in a managed language, but you use it thoughtfully every step of the way. This book shows you some of those considerations that can reduce technical design problems and improve software programs.
Review: Not your grandfather's C++ -- A must have book ! - It is true that Scott Meyers's book are of great quality. However, as someone that owns many of his books, I can say that his writing keeps getting better and his way of explaining concepts much more accessible. This is a trait, as a writer myself, I will like to to attained. The book looks at very important topics for C++11 and C++14. Therefore, this is not a rewrite of his previous book (and those book should be in your library as well). First, I have to say that he mentions that he didn't want to write about type deduction. Well, I didn't want to read it either. However, the fact he placed it in the first part of the book, it has forced me to do so too. This is because I wanted to avoid the elephant in the room, which is the type deduction and continue with the rest. I'm very glad he did write about type deduction in C++11/C++14. My favorite item: Item 35: Prefer task-based programming to thread-programming. Excellent items about lambdas, threads, rvalues, and many others. It is a great book to have if you code in C++. The books that I always keep close right now for C++ are: C++ Primer by Lippman (5th edition), The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference (2nd edition) by Josuttis, and Effective Modern C++. I also keep close the API Design for C++ by Reddy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Careful Diagnosis of C++11 and C++14
*by M***R on December 26, 2014*

Honesty about C++ and the things that can really help you and those things you should manage carefully is what I like most about this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but very detailed
*by S***U on November 8, 2016*

The first few items are useful if you haven't touched c++ in a while and want to get up to speed. The last items however are much more detailed and won't make a big difference for you unless you really know your c++ and are coding an application with high performance requirements. All in all I think this is a good refresher book in its first part and a good reference book in its second.
