C++ by example book [closed]

Question

I was programming in c++ at university but have been programming in java for most of my professional life(about 5 years) but I now need to recapture those c++ skills. I have tried a couple of books but they are too basic. Is there some kind of example book on c++ that I can use to revisit c++ in a project style format?

Answer 1

When I was in a similar situation I read Scott Meyers' books. They both helped me to refresh C++, as well as widen my knowledge. Start with Effective C++ which contains a number of basic dos and don'ts with C++ to avoid common pitfalls.
