I don't enjoy working in C++ much, and haven't spent significant time working with it, but found Effective C++ really good and helpful back when I was working on a codebase that was being converted from C to C++.
I wonder if he'll move onto another language, or do something else entirely different. He doesn't say...
- p4wnc6 11y agoI agree. I don't like C++ much and I feel some very strong, objective arguments can be made that it is often not the right tool for many of the jobs that it is chosen for. And yet, Effective C++ was one of the pivotal development books I read, and has affected the way I think about programming in any other language or tool that I use.
- flakiness 11y agoYeah, the writing style of the Effective C++ was so influential that there were bunch of "Effective" books follow. Effective Java, Effective Ruby, Effective JavaScript... This influence is invisible, but possibly the most important impact he made so far. Looking forward to what's coming next.
