SynopsisAn Introduction to Programming by the Inventor of C++ Preparation for Programming in the Real World The book assumes that you aim eventually to write non-trivial programs, whether for work in software development or in some other technical field. Focus on Fundamental Concepts and Techniques The book explains fundamental concepts and techniques in greater depth than traditional introductions. This approach will give you a solid foundation for writing useful, correct, maintainable, and efficient code. Programming with Today's C++ The book is an introduction to programming in general, including object-oriented programming and generic programming. It is also a solid introduction to the C++ programming language, one of the most widely used languages for real-world software. The book presents modern C++ programming techniques from the start, introducing the C++ standard library to simplify programming tasks. For Beginners-And Anyone Who Wants to Learn Something New The book is primarily designed for people who have never programmed before, and it has been tested with more than 1,000 first-year university students. However, practitioners and advanced students will gain new insight and guidance by seeing how a recognized master approaches the elements of his art. Provides a Broad View The first half of the book covers a wide range of essential concepts, design and programming techniques, language features, and libraries. Those will enable you to write programs involving input, output, computation, and simple graphics. The second half explores more specialized topics, such as text processing and testing, and provides abundant reference material. Source code and support supplements are available from the author's website.
Excellent C++ Textbook For BOTH The Beginner & Expert:
Excellent book by the inventor of the C++ language. It is quite compelling for ANY programmer that has studied or is studying within the past 30 years. Examples are plentiful and the text of this particular textbook makes it relatively simple to understand, even for the beginners among us. Decisive and polished reviews at the end of each chapter, and the subjects follow decently fluidly throughout the book. The only criticism is that in order to FULLY get the details of recent updates to C++ (such as C++11, C++17, C++20) you really need to pay attention to which editions you are purchasing. First Edition covers EVERYTHING before C++11; the 2nd Edition covers updates within C++11 & 17; and eventually C++20 will be hit in the future edition(s) I would imagine. The covers are extremely similar, so you really have to pay attention (cover for second edition is slightly darker --- same picture though I believe).
