Jesse Liberty's C++ Unleashed presents focused explanations of the core features and complexities of C++. The text covers advanced object-oriented analysis and design strategies and implementation issues associated with memory management, STL container classes, iterators, and algorithms. Manipulate data using dynamic data structures and recursion, efficient sorting algorithms, and advanced hashing and parsing techniques.
