Part One covers the foundation of C++, including its control statements, operators, preprocessor directives, and data types. Part Two details the extensive C++ Builder library. In Part Three you will explore object-oriented programming (OOP), learn about classes and objects, constructors, destructors, polymorphism, inheritance, exception handling, templates, and much more. Also, you'll get details on the standard template library (STL), one of C++'s most powerful, advanced features. Part Four covers the C++ Builder IDE, and explains how to create, compile, and run applications and how to fix bugs using the debugger. And, numerous ready-to-run examples are included throughout, making it easy to apply what you've learned.


-Master the C++ language and its libraries including the numerous extensions added by C++ Builder
-Learn the fundamental principles of OOP polymorphism, inheritance, and encapsulation

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was expecting - but would suit others.., 10 Sep 2001
By A Customer
I bought this book as it appeared to be the best available on here for learning to find one's way around Borland C++ Builder. I am currently getting to grips with V5 Professional on Windows 2000 and it looked as this book would have everything I needed to get up the learning curve...

Unfortunately it doesn't. What this book is not: a 'Borland C++ Builder' definitive reference.

However it is: an excellent book for the beginner/intermediate level programmer in C/C++.

The book explains both the simple and more complex principles and structures of programming. Examples are practical and generally helpful towards understanding the more complex topics.

Good points:

+ Detail on every standard and ansi C funtion you could dream off

+ Loads of well written information on C++ and object orientated principles

+ Goes through how to use the Borland package, what menus have what commands etc..

Bad Points:

- Almost nothing on building GUIs and using the windows controls that Borland have interfaced to, e.g. TListBox except for 10 pages or so that briefly introduce some very basic controls and forms.

Summary: A great book for reference to the C and C++ languages - if you don't have such a book this is worth a look. But if you want to write Windows programs that are GUI driven rather than console applications: look elsewhere.

I'm off to check out C++ Builder 5 Developers Guide in the hope that it will be more use...
