Practical C++ design: from programming to architecture.

摘要

Not long before reviewing this book, I taught a class in C++ using Bjarne Stroustrup's book Programming: principles and practices using C+ + [1]. In four chapters (out of 26), Stroustrup has the reader build a small calculator, including several advanced features. I thought Practical C+ + design would be a great follow-up since its focus is on building a calculator in C++, and I would surely pick up ways to extend the calculator I had built. But to my surprise, Singer takes a whole book to design a calculator that is in several ways less fully realized than Stroustrup's, for instance, there are no variables and no grammar-driven parser.
