Our programming group moved recently and in bringing the books to the new 
location I found a copy of 'Effective C++' 2nd edition that I must have 
bought back when since it has my name on the fly leaf. Is that still 
useful or have there been too many changes?  I see his last book if 
'Effective Modern C++' but even that one is for C++14.

Moving the books nobody has looked at in years was depressing. Most should 
have been moved to the dumpster. 'Programming Perl' may still be valid.

I hope C++ doesn't use => for lambdas like C#; that would really be error 
prone.
