Meyers provides 50 short, specific, easy-to-remember guidelines that experienced C++ programmers either almost always do or almost always avoid. These rules are each followed by an explanation of the rule's important advice on how to implement it, and are supported by actual programming examples.

Summary: A book to read after knowing c++ syntax
Comment: You have read some newbie book like 'Thinking in C++' (as I did) or 'The C++ programming language', and wonder where to go next? 'Effective C++' book is your next step. Each item is a new world you might not know yet.
I'm glad I purchased this book in paper. After reading 1/3 of it I already knew that the book is worth all the time I would spend on it, so I purchased the other 2 books - 'More effective C++' and 'Effective C++' books by Scott Meyers immediatly.

Summary: Kindle Edition formatting acceptable, but not great
Comment: This book is fantastic, I own three editions.
But the Kindle edition is a pale shadow of the print edition. Purchase the printed edition first, use the Kindle edition only as a portable reference. Expect your reading speed to be much slower on the Kindle edition than in the print edition.
The Kindle display is too narrow for the code, causing lines to wrap at inconvenient places. Code is mostly readable, but the line wraps render the code less readable than the print edition.
The Kindle edition uses the same serifed font for both code and prose, all in black. The printed edition uses a serif font for prose, and uses a sans-serif font to differentiate code. The print edition uses color to identifies important code.
Comparing the two editions gives you deeper appreciation for the art of typesetting.

The Scott Meyers books were *the* reason I bought a Kindle: these books were in my backpack on the day I ordered my Kindle. "I could carry a 10oz Kindle instead of a stack of books? Sold!" Even with the Kindle's limited formatting capabilities, I'm glad to finally have them in a Kindle edition.

Summary: Just get it
Comment: This book must be required reading for anyone developing in C++. I count this book as essential as Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language"; these two books are a necessity.
Mr. Stroustrup's book could be considered a technical reference to the C++ language. This book I consider as a technical reference for how to use the C++ language.
The book was well written. I found the book to be easy to read and the index to be exhaustive enough for the book to be used as a quick reference.

Summary: Good theoretical treatise of issues at hand
Comment: Is this a great book? I have been asking myself that question ever since I found out that Scott Meyers does not write (or has not written for a long time) production code in C++. With that said, book is a great theoretical treatise on how to make your C++ code better but it is not a "cookbook" which will be immediately useful in day to day tasks. This is not necessarily a bad thing; such approach will encourage deeper understanding of issues at hand and that will lead to better code.

Summary: c++ programming
Comment: A good book in an informal language to take a look at the most importance topics to avoid many common errors during the programming in C++. Widely used in the industry.
