About Thinking in C++:
Best Book! Winner of the
1995 Software Development Magazine Jolt Award!
“This book is a tremendous achievement. You owe it to yourself to have a copy on your shelf.
The chapter on iostreams is the most comprehensive and understandable treatment of that
subject I’ve seen to date.”

“Eckel’s book is the only one to so clearly explain how to rethink program construction for
object orientation. That the book is also an excellent tutorial on the ins and outs of C++ is an
added bonus.”

Editor, Unix Review
“Bruce continues to amaze me with his insight into C++, and Thinking in C++ is his best
collection of ideas yet. If you want clear answers to difficult questions about C++, buy this
outstanding book.”
Gary Entsminger
Author, The Tao of Objects
“Thinking in C++ patiently and methodically explores the issues of when and how to use
inlines, references, operator overloading, inheritance, and dynamic objects, as well as
advanced topics such as the proper use of templates, exceptions and multiple inheritance. The
entire effort is woven in a fabric that includes Eckel’s own philosophy of object and program
design. A must for every C++ developer’s bookshelf, Thinking in C++ is the one C++ book
you must have if you’re doing serious development with C++.”
