Product Description

Product Description
C++ From the Beginning is a book with a dual purpose: to teach the fundamental principles of good programming, and to provide an accessible and direct introduction to C++. This book is ideal for beginners taking their first programming course and for programmers with some experience requiring a thorough introduction to the C++ language. No previous knowledge of the C programming language is necessary.

 

From the Back Cover

C++ From the Beginning

covers the whole of the C++ language from simple basics to advanced language constructs. The emphasis is on building programming skills via examples and exercises, integrating object-oriented programming with object-oriented design while teaching the basics of the language.

It is a book with a dual purpose: to teach the fundamental principles of good programming, and to provide an accessible and direct introduction to C++. It is ideal for beginners taking their first programming course, and for programmers with some experience requiring a thorough introduction to the C++ language.

Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1997, the ISO standard for C++ has been approved. This new edition of the book covers the ISO standard, which incorporates a library of utility classes called the STL (Standard Template Library) not previously included in the core of C++. This book describes these new classes as well as advanced topics such as exceptions, streams, templates and function objects.

New to this edition

  • The class string and the STL class vector are used in a natural way throughout the book

  • Additional chapter on the new standard template library (STL) based on the ISO and ANSI standard of 1998

  • UML is now used in the chapter on object-oriented program development

  • Borland C++ has been replaced with Microsoft's Visual C++

  • Three new appendices have been included

Jan Skansholm is a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. He is the author of the best-selling Ada95 from the Beginning, and Java from the Beginning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, well written, clearly illustrated., 15 Jan 2000
By A Customer
I've previously used Ada for programming Simulations and Real Time s/w. I'd forgoten the C I once knew. This library book was an excellent introduction to object oriented programing and the C I've used with MS Developer Studio & Win32 API.

4.0 out of 5 stars A quite good book for students, 31 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I'm a student in computer science. Our teacher adviced us to buy this book. It's a good book to learn C++. But, I think you need another book, like a reference book and study with those two books.
