I just came home from the seminar regarding my proposed load balancing algorithm. I tried to get as candid as I can, but still half of what I said was jargon -- which made me explain the thing in layman's terms and using more colloquial examples. I was wearing a black suit, (chinese collared americana suit that is), gray slacks, black leather belt (perry ellis), and leather shoes (by bristol). I'm beginning to sound like a caption to a fashion mag's pic, but I digress...
So there I was, waiting for the seminar to start. As a speaker, I conducted myself properly and tried to get things cleared out with my co-presentors. I was asuuming that they knew at least half of what they were supposed to talk about, and that they knew how to speak in front of a crowd. BUT NO...

ReplyDeleteBooks? For the experienced C++ programmer, I found this book by Scott Meyers titled "More Effective C++" detailing 35 of the more important tips to consider when writing your C++ applications.
ReplyDeleteC++ Unleashed is also a very nice book for intermediate-advanced C++ developers. For the beginners, I recommend C++ in 21 Days both by Sybex (IIRC).
Hope this helps!
