Links
An assortment of (hopefully) interesting web pages.
| Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++ and the greatest C++ guru | Bjarne's homepage. A number of good documents, for example C++ Style and Technique FAQ. |
| The ISO C++ committee | The homepage for standard C++ |
| On the web: C++ books, introductions, magazines, FAQ's | Herb Sutter's (the chair of the ISO C++ standards committee) blog series: Guru of the week (with interesting programming problems). University of Wisconsin: C++ tutorial for Java programmers (rather trivial and tiresome). |
| Real printed books. Read user reviews on Amazon or on wiki. | Scott Meyers has written four very good books (Effective C++, More Effective C++, Effective STL, Effective Modern C++). The latter contains, among other things, detailed explanation of auto type deduction and rvalue references. |
| C++ compilers. We cannot advise on choosing or help with installation of compilers. | Compiler list from thefreecountry.com. Compiler explorer, a website that lets you compare the code generated by different compilers (or different compiler flags) |
| STL, C++ and C library documentation. | http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/Full references: cppreference.com and cplusplus.com. About the C library: also try the manpages. |
Esoterica:
| Obfuscated C | The obfuscated Twelve Days of Christmas program shown at the first lecture: poem.c. Compile and link with gcc -o poem poem.c, run with ./poem. Also see: Reverse Engineering the Twelve Days of Christmas. |
