Hi,
I am going on to spend some 8 - 12 months on getting C++ in the toolbox. I have already experience with Perl and also with some C++, but now I would get the "driver license".
I am already using Eckel books and would get something practical between vol. 1 and vol. 2, going over the Mak "writing compilers and interpreters in C++" I have already here (a full pascal compiler, to be rewritten just a bit to work with current std C++), and later to be enhanced with the latest of std C++ library.
What I find a bit overwhelming is the content related to bare syntax/semantics (the whole C in C++) as I have some tendency to like parsing approach in learning at the building block level, more that a progressive mnemonic to comprehended 'opt in' of the stuff.
So I would know if you could suggest some books I could append to see at syntax more from a bounded syntax approach , bounding the logic of syntax to what the compiler will see, as a learning approach.
