Thinking in C++ volume 1 2nd Edition

I clawed my way into C++ from exactly the same position I expect
many of the readers of this book are in: as a programmer with a
very no-nonsense, nuts-and-bolts attitude about programming.
Worse, my background and experience was in hardware-level
embedded programming, in which C has often been considered a
high-level language and an inefficient overkill for pushing bits
around. I discovered later that I wasn’t even a very good C
programmer, hiding my ignorance of structures, malloc( ) and
free( ), setjmp( ) and longjmp( ), and other “sophisticated”
concepts, scuttling away in shame when the subjects came up in
conversation instead of reaching out for new knowledge.
