Fast becoming the standard language of commercial software development, C++ is an update of the C programming language, adding object-oriented features that are very helpful for today’s larger graphical applications.
Practical C++ Programming is a complete introduction to the C++ language for the beginning programmer, and also for C programmers transitioning to C++. Unlike most other C++ books, this book emphasizes a practical, real-world approach, including how to debug, how to make your code understandable to others, and how to understand other people’s code.Almost as important, this book is written in the readable style that has made Nutshell Handbooks® famous.
Topics covered include:
• Good programming style
• C++ syntax, what to use and what not to use
• C++ class design
• Debugging and optimization
At the end of each chapter are a number of exercises you can use to make sure you’ve grasped the concepts. Solutions to most are provided.
Practical C++ Programming describes standard C++ features that are supported by all UNIX C++ compilers (including gcc) and DOS/Windows and NT compilers (including Microsoft Visual C++).
