Description

This book includes coverage of the Standard Template Library, one of the most significant additions to C++, and a topic you will have to master to be competitive in the C++ market. All the listings and examples use the new std namespace and in some of the more difficult areas, such as inheritance, the examples have been made more lucid and straight-forward. Also included is coverage of the latest object-oriented programming techniques such as UML, CRC cards and design patterns. TWG's C++ show more Primer Plus, Third edition makes understanding and experimenting with important object-oriented programming concepts like classes, inheritance, templates, and exceptions both interesting and manageable. It shows how to handle input and output, make programs perform repetitive tasks, manipulate data, hide information, use functions, and build flexible, easily modifiable programs. show less

First words
Chapter 1 -- Getting Started -- Welcome to C++! This exciting language, blending the C language with support for object-oriented programming, has become one of the most important programming languages of the 1990s and promise... (show all)s to continue strongly into the 2000s. Its C ancestry brings to C++ the tradition of an efficient , compact, fast, and portable language. Its object- oriented heritage brings C++ a fresh programming methodology designed to cope with escalating complexity of modern programming tasks. Its newly enhanced template features bring yet another new programming methodology, generic programming. This triple heritage is both a blessing and a bane. It makes the language very powerful, but it also means there's more to learn.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)What Now? -- Now that you have worked your way through this book, you should have a good grasp of the rules of C++. However, that's just the beginning in learning this language. The second stage is learning to use the language effectively, and that is the longer journey. The best situation to be in is a work of learning environment that brings you into contact with good C++ code and programmers. Also, now that you know C++, you can read books that concentrate on more advanced topics and upon object-oriented programming.
