From the Back Cover

Extensively revised and updated, this proven book by noted C++/C expert Ira Pohl is written specifically for C programmers who are transitioning to C++. C++ For C Programmers, Third Edition takes an evolutionary teaching approach, using C as a starting point and C++ as a destination. This third edition reflects the new ANSI C++ Standard, and covers the latest language features--including detailed discussions of templates, STL, and exception handling. Each chapter contains a brief examination of Java that compares and contrasts it with C++, providing the C programmer with a more complete understanding of both C and C++ and their relationship to Java.

Highlights of C++ for C Programmers, Third Edition, include:

  • A smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented programming for programmers already familiar with C
  • Extensive exercises and frequent language comparisons to teach concepts quickly and to introduce the language's powerful object-oriented features
  • Pohl's trademark "dissection" code presentation technique, which illustrates the underlying structure of programs and makes design tradeoffs understandable

3.0 out of 5 stars a somewhat scatterbrained approach, 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: C++ for C Programmers (Paperback)
C++ is a broad subject and can be approached from many angles. Ira Pohl's approach is so non-standard, it left my head spinning. I read this book twice and still refer to it, but Pohl's PhD.-speak keeps getting in the way. If you like to read books written using down-to-earth termonology, look elsewhere...buy if you want to talk and write like a C++ guru, just imitate Pohl's literary style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Competent C programmers can gain a lot, 22 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: C++ for C Programmers (Paperback)
This book is not a language reference, it's full of unique tactics and language features. People who know C Will gain a lot if they are moving to C++, However a book on purely C++ codes and syntaxes will help the learning process better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Neither fish nor fowl, 9 April 1999
By A Customer
This book has been at the bottom of my heap since I bought it. It is too long and poorly organized to be a valuable introduction to the C++ language. But it is not a guide to good use of C++ (a la _Effective C++_ or _C++ Strategies and Tactics_), because most of what it presents is bare exposition of language features.

On the plus side, it is fairly thorough, with coverage of templates, STL and namespaces.
