MARKET DESCRIPTION:
Intended for a course on programming with the
C++ programming language. This course assumes prior programming experience in
another language (e.g. Introductory Programming/CS1 in C or Java) and is
typically taught at the advanced undergraduate level.
BRIEF PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
This hands-on
introduction to C++ programming uses a learn-by-example method. With more than
400 examples that are short and easily understood at first viewing, the book
serves as the student's classroom notes, tutorial, and reference. LEARNING C++
employs a careful and steady progression of skills and concepts, going beyond
the level of detail of most C++ books. The first five chapters show the reader
how to make a smooth transition from C to C++, including explanations of
iostream methods, default function arguments, reference variables, and heap
management. From here classes are introduced, leading into more advanced topics
such as operator overloading, inheritance, polymorphism, templates, and runtime
type identification.
