Franklin, Beedle & Associates releases the book C++: MEMORY FIRST, by Adair Dingle and Thomas Hiderbrandt

Franklin, Beedle & Associates has just released C++: MEMORY FIRST, by Adair Dingle and Thomas Hiderbrandt. This book is intended for use by intermediate to advance programmers.

The authors focus on C++ memory management. Emphasizing memory management aids the programmer in development of correct and efficient C++ code. The book is divided into three parts: data, control, and memory management. Data provides a detailed discussion of fundamental data types and control structures. Control looks at scope, lifetime, and parameter passing techniques. Memory management covers inheritance, polymorphism, multiple inheritance, garbage collection, reference counting, smart pointers, and common memory management errors.

Adair Dingle is a professor of computer science at Seattle University and Thomas Hiderbrandt is a software engineer for Triplex Software.
