Effective C++, Third Edition

A. Beyond Effective C++

Effective C++ covers what I consider to be the most important general guidelines for practicing C++ programmers, but if you're interested in more ways to improve your effectiveness, I encourage you to examine my other C++ books, More Effective C++ and Effective STL.

Effective STL is a guideline-oriented book like Effective C++, but it focuses exclusively on making effective use of the Standard Template Library.
