Re: What's up with C++ (books)?

I wouldn't call it comprehensive, but IMHO reading the classic Efficient C++
by Scott Meyers (already mentioned on this thread) would be quite useful in
such an scenario.

I'm not sure how old the latest edition is nor how updated it is with regard
to the (also mentioned) latest standard C++. There's also an EC C++ 2 but
not as necessary as the first book (though quite recommendable
nonetheless).

Such a developer might find useful having a look to Plauger's books on C and
C++ standard libraries also.

I'm not sure about newest books, as I haven't been using the language for
quite a long time.
