The Structure of This Book
Abstract:
"The time has come, " the Walrus said, "to talk of many things."-- L.Carroll This chapter consists of an overview of this book, a list of references, and some ancillary notes on C++. The notes concern the history of C++, ideas that influenced the design of C++, and thoughts about programming in C++. This chapter is not an introduction: the notes are not a prerequisite for understanding the following chapters, and some notes assume knowledge of C++.
