Wow - all programming books should be written like this (and a few others have since followed). Meyers doesn't just say "do this" he says: achieve this goal and you would probably go about this way, but that would have these problems, so you would probably change it to this, but then that would introduce these other concerns, and so on it goes... In other words, he teaches by example all the commmon alternative implementation approaches to stated goal or tip. Thus ensuring that not only is there buy-in to the tip or goal but that there is a deep understanding of why and of a number of related concerns. His first book is the same I am told but I don't own that one.
