To-the-point, authoritative, no-nonsense solutions have always been a trademark of O'Reilly books. The In a Nutshell books have earned a solid reputation in the field as the well-thumbed references that sit beside the knowledgeable developer's keyboard. C++ in a Nutshell lives up to the In a Nutshell promise. C++ in a Nutshell is a lean, focused reference that offers practical examples for the most important, most often used, aspects of C++.
C++ in a Nutshell packs an enormous amount of information on C++ (and the many libraries used with it) in an indispensable quick reference for those who live in a deadline-driven world and need the facts but not the frills.
The book's language reference is organized first by topic, followed by an alphabetical reference to the language's keywords, complete with syntax summaries and pointers to the topic references. The library reference is organized by header file, and each library chapter and class declaration presents the classes and types in alphabetical order, for easy lookup. Cross-references link related methods, classes, and other key features. This is an ideal resource for students as well as professional programmers.
When you're programming, you need answers to questions about language syntax or parameters required by library routines quickly. What, for example, is the C++ syntax to define an alias for a namespace? Just how do you create and use an iterator to work with the contents of a standard library container? C++ in a Nutshell is a concise desktop reference that answers these questions, putting the full power of this flexible, adaptable (but somewhat difficult to master) language at every C++ programmer's fingertips.

Great!
This feels better to have a c++ ref in my iPhone than lug around a book. It's searchable too!!
May turn out to be a good reference, but so far has awful example code
Bought the app to help me brush up on C++ since I'm primarily a hardware engineer. It has some formatting issues, but I can look past those. What I am disappointed with is the available example code. Some are in the wrong file (comments at the top indicate as such), some don't work even though they compile (I'm using g++ 4.2 on Mac OS 10.6.2, and I'll admit I've had to tweak 1 or 2 to make them work due to 64-bit issues I'm assuming), and the comments/explanations leave much to be desired. I've read only part way into Chapter 5, and I've encountered many problems. These files were created in 2003 as far as I can tell, so what's the deal here? I'm really disappointed, O'reilly dropped the ball on this book.
