Justin Lloyd's Thinkering

Somebody needs to think about this stuff...

Reading

I made it a goal in 1985 to read one book a week.

Generally I have managed to stick to that goal for the most part.

Some years I couldn't get as much reading done as I wanted to.

My GoodReads list shows that I have a smidgen under 3,500 books that I have read.

And there are at least 300 books on my GoodReads list I have yet to tackle.

So much to read. So slow a reader.

Due to dyslexia I am not a particularly fast reader.

I plod through books at a pedestrian pace. I am jealous of people who can read quickly and I have no clue how people are able to speed read and retain all that information.

It's only dogged persistence that lets me get through a book some days.

Read – C++ for Real Programmers

by

Today I finished reading “C++ for Real Programmers” by Jeff Alger

I blazed through this book.

One of those rare C++ books where you can learn five interesting things in the first 20 pages about a language you’ve been programming in for a decade.

It is now plastered with little post-it notes.

Finally a book that shows how to implement functors in C++ correctly!
