Title: Not fore senior Java developers jumping into C++
Product review: I bought this book due to the high reviews. I found this book lacking in answering any questions I had about C++. I was jumping into an existing C++ application and needed to know how to implement my ideas using C++ syntax, and understand the code I was expected to fix. It did not cover:- parameter passing (reference, pointers, or value types)- over-riding methods- abstract class (virtual methods, pure virtual methods)- how to create objects, variable name, class name. All new to Java developers that put everything on the heap.It would be nice to cover project layout as well. Java has only a few structures and C++ seems to be the wild west. The fact that implementations can be in multiple source files and/or multiple libraries was not covered at all. This was a very new and confusing concept to a long time Java developer. Maybe this is more of a review for C++ developers coming back to the fold.
