DESCRIPTION:
Developed from years of seminars given all over the world, this book takes the C programmer on the easiest route into C++ proficiency: by moving step-by-step from what you already know.
The best beginner/intermediate-level C++ book I've ever read Bruce Eckel has an amazing ability to break down complex topics and make them easy to understand without simplifying or compromising the concepts themselves. Together, both volumes of Thinking in C++ make for the best crash course in C++ programming I've ever seen. Not only do they teach the fundamentals of the language itself and the standard template library, but they manage to imbue readers with excellent programming practices along the way. The Thinking in C++ series serves as an outstanding primer for practical C++ programming or as preparation for more advanced st. Very good, although printing quality (code listings) could be better Very good, although printing quality (code listings) could be better. Includes some obsolete libraries such as ZThreads. I prefer a more C++ 11 oriented publication instead of this roughly C++98 based one. Buy it only for a low price.. Defies the First Law of Technical Documentation The First Law of Technical Documentation states that:"The more complicated the subject, the less will be written about it, and the more likely there will be errors in what is written".This explains why typical programming books will have fifteen pages on If statements, but only a paragraph that says that "Interrupts can be serviced".Bruce does a masterful job of building the readers up so they are able to gradually yet thoroughly assimilate the subject matter. Thanks to years of putting on seminars and taking comments from readers, he teaches in useful and productive in
The book covers not only introductory topics but advanced ones such as multiple inheritance and templates. . Despite C++'s syntactic similarities to C, the two languages are fundamentally different in nature--a fact that can complicate the task of learning C++ if you already know C. Thinking in C++ explains C++ to C programmers not just from the perspective of writing code, but from the perspective of software engineering and design--how do you conceptualize programs that exploit C++'s capabilities? With readable prose, Bruce Eckel offers a compelling explanation of what object-oriented languages in general and C++ in particular have to offer and teaches you how to apply it
