The C++ Cookbook, is a collection of over a hundred recipes for common programming tasks from building a DLL, to parsing XML. The full list of recipes can be seen at www.cpp-cookbook.com, and a downloadable chapter should be posted here at Artima.com soon. I was responsible for the chapters on dates and times, and science and mathematics.

I am particularly proud of this book, because unlike many C++ books it is isn’t a boring old reference. Nor is it a list of things that you shouldn’t do with C++. In my opinion, it is usually more useful, and more difficult, to say how to accomplish a task, than to say how not to accomplish a task.

On another note, you may notice I have changed my blog bio. It apparently rubbed people the wrong way that I mentioned I was looking for work, well that along with my general charming persona which I can’t change. So I dropped the line about work. Hopefully the new bio isn’t seen as being quite as self-promotional.
