Review: This book is about solving common problems in C++, not about learning it – it assumes you have a basic knowledge. It looks at those things that you have to rewrite on each new problem: date and time parsing/arithmetic, manipulating strings and text, working with files, parsing ZML, using standard containers etc. The cookbook format comes as recipes, with each one having a problem statement and a code solution, with a discussion to follow. Many solutions take advantage of the C++ standard library. There are chapters on: building C++ applications, code organization, numbers, strings and text, dates and times, managing data with containers, algorithms, classes, exceptions and safety, streams and files, science and mathematics, multithreading, internationalisation, and XML .
