You′ll discover what goes into creating a program, as well as how to put the various pieces together, deal with standard programming challenges, handle debugging, and make it all work.

  • Details the basics of C++ programming and explores the "how" and "why" of this object–oriented language
  • Addresses the various components that go into creating a program with C++
  • Walks you through common challenges of C++ programming

Assuming no prior experience, Beginning Programming with C++ For Dummies is a fun and friendly guide to learning the C++ language.

From the Back Cover

Here′s programming made easy (and fun!) with this guide to the popular C++ language

So you′re dreaming of the exciting life of a programmer? You can make it happen with this book! Even if you barely know what programming is, you can learn to "speak" the C++ language, install and use the compiler, work with loops, understand objects and classes, get rid of bugs, and write real programs that work. It′s all in these pages!

  • How the thing thinks — understand what a computer needs to work, what an algorithm is, and how programming languages function

  • Tools of the trade — install Code::Blocks, use the integrated development environment, and write your first program

  • Express yourself — learn to write simple expressions, declare integer variables, and make decisions within a program

  • Love loops — use loops and functions, divide your code into modules, eliminate bugs, and master the C++ pointer

  • Think objectively — grasp object–oriented programming concepts and work with classes and objects

Open the book and find:

  • What a programming language must do

  • How to work with integer expressions and character expressions

  • Tips for keeping errors out of your code

  • Four essential parts of a loop

  • Different numerical variable types

  • Why C++ pointers are important

  • How to use constructors and destructors

  • Advanced language features you′ll want to know

Learn to:

  • Think like a programmer and understand how C++ works

  • Create programs and get bugs out of your code

  • Master basic development concepts and techniques in C++

Find source code from the book and the Code::Blocks C++ compiler on the companion CD–ROM

This is a good choice for anyone wanting to learn C++ programming or just brush up on the language, The CD comes with tools to program although I personally don't like the software but for anyone who does not already have a proffered tool it looks to be a very powerful and capable program to work with.

I come to C++ by way of C, Fortran, Basic, Pascal and various other languages which I've used for miscellaneous projects since my first encounter with computers as a teen in the early 1980's. Not a "professional" programmer and not having programmed for some time, I wanted a concise introductory text to get me quickly up to speed on C++ for analyzing some work related data. Stephen Davis's book pretty much nails the basic concepts. A great primer to get you started. It takes place on my bookshelf next to my old dogeared copy of Kernighan and Ritchie.
