C++ Programming How-To

Vasudevan A.

This document provides a comprehensive list of C++ URL pointers, links to C++ online textbooks, and programming tips on C++. This document also provides a C++ library which imitates Java−language, and which has various methods to avoid memory problems in C++. Using this library you can compile Java’s source code under C++. This document serves as a “Home of C++ language”. The information given here will help you to program properly in C++ language and applies to all the operating systems that is − Linux, MS DOS, BeOS, Apple Macintosh OS, Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000, OS/2, IBM OSes (MVS, AS/400 etc..), VAX VMS, Novell Netware, all flavors of Unix like Solaris, HPUX, AIX, SCO, Sinix, BSD, etc.. and to all other operating systems which support “C++” compiler (it means almost all the operating systems on this planet).
