This book is a thorough rewrite of the first edition to reflect all of the changes introduced in C++ by the finalization of the C++ Standard, and also to reflect what I've learned since writing the first edition. The entire text present in the first edition has been examined and rewritten, sometimes removing old examples, often changing existing examples and adding new ones, and adding many new exercises.

I really loved the DaVinciCode written by Dan Brown and decided to check out another book to see if DaVinciCode was a flash in the pan or whether his other novels were equally good. So I decided to try out A&D. The fact that the central character in this novel was the same sybologist Robert Langdon from DaVinciCode helped me choose this book ahead of other Dan
Brown's book.
