Learning to Program in C++

Learning to Program in C++

by SteveHeller (Author)

Synopsis

For introductory courses in C++.

There are dozens of introductory C++ books on the market, but few of them are effective in training the complete novice, as they make too many assumptions of prior knowledge. Unlike other introductory C++ books, this book was developed with the assistance of a complete novice to the language. Her comments are questions were incorporated in the text to assist readers who have had no previous experience with programming.

Many readers, whether taking formal C++ course or studying on their own, report that the approach this book takes is far superior to any other they have encountered. A number of customer comments on Amazon.com also testify to its effectiveness.

Book Overview:

There has never been an introductory C++ book like this. It actually consists of a live dialogue and email correspondence between an expert C++ programmer and a complete novice: a dialogue that continues until the novice truly understands -- and so do you. First published as Who's Afraid of C++ and Who's Afraid of More C++, this book brings together carefully crafted material proven to teach novices every key concept involved in C++ programming. Informally written yet disciplined in approach, it doesn't just teach you syntax -- it teaches you how to think like a programmer. Along the way, you'll understand everything from the absolute basics (how programs are converted from a high-level language to machine instructions) to challenging topics like inheritance, polymorphism, and the effective use of pointers.
