There's only been three real C++ books in my library ever and truth be told, I've really only ever needed one of them.
- Robert Lafore's Object-Oriented Programming in Turbo C++, which I cut my teeth on.
- The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup, for obvious reasons.
- Effective C++: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Design by Scott Meyers. It is that one book.
Of all the C/C++/C# books I've read over the years, Scott's stuff was the most useful to me and many of those lessons have served me well going forward. So you can imagine my pleasure at reading this on the DevelopMentor site today:
DevelopMentor is pleased to announce a new, closer relationship with Scott Meyers, which will make all Scott’s courses available through DevelopMentor...
There's a fancy press release here and a list of classes here. The one I really love to take is Better Software, no matter what.
So I'm looking at Cellphones and I'm pretty sure I want the Nokia 6230 and I'm looking at getting my service through Cigular. I have the option of paying $30 per month for MEdiaNET unlimited which looks to give me an unlimited number of wireless Internet access minutes. So the question becomes, if I buy this phone with that plan, can I use it as a wireless MODEM for a laptop under the terms of MEdiaNET or not.
Plan “B” is to get a PCMCIA Cellular MODEM like the Sony Ericsson GC83 and use Sykpe instead.
I'd really like to have the best of both worlds: a phone unit for when I can't pull my laptop out and use it and unlimited Internet Access for when I can.
Thoughts? Opinions? How are you doing this?
