Portrait

Ryan Stephens is a software engineer, writer, and student living in Tempe, AZ. He enjoys programming in virtually any language, especially C++. His interests include the fields of information retrieval and data mining, and pretty much anything that has to do with algorithms and large data sets. When he's not working, writing, or programming, he plays with his kids, works on his house, or goes cycling.

Christopher Diggins is a freelance software developer and writer who has been programming computers since he was "haut comme trois pommes". Christopher writes regularly for the C++ Users Journal, and is the designer of the Heron programming lanugage.

Jonathan Turkanis is the author of the Boost Iostreams library and several other open source C++ libraries covering areas including smart pointers, runtime reflection, component architectures and aspect-oriented programming. He is a Ph.D. candidate in mathematical logic at the University of California at Berkeley.

Jeff Cogswell has been programming in several languages for many years. His background was previously in telecom, writing software for such strange things as network management protocols. Lately, however, his work has focused more on web development. After spending a few years in both Florida and California, Jeff now lives in Michigan. He's holding out for some warmer weather.

Pressestimmen

"Lange Zeit hatten Perl- und Java-Entwickler ihren C++-Kollegen eines voraus: ein Cookbook von O'Reilly. Das ändert sich nun mit dem vorliegenden C++ Cookbook. Es folgt wie erwartet dem gewohnten Schema, typische Probleme und deren Lösung vorzustellen. Dabei werden, soweit möglich, die Standardwerkzeuge der Programmiersprache verwendet und nur im Notfall auf externe Bibliotheken (hier besonders die freien boost-Bibliotheken) zurückgegriffen. [...] Ich empfehle dieses Buch besonders C++-Einsteigern, die bereits über Grundkenntnisse verfügen und vermeiden wollen, ihre Zeit mit dem Lösen von Standardproblemen zu verbringen. Der fortgeschrittene Entwickler findet in diesem Buch effiziente und einfache Lösungen für alltägliche Aufgaben und kann von den ausführlichen Hintergrundinformationen profitieren." - Kai Wurm, Linux Usergroup der Studentensiedlung Freiburg, Januar 2006
