C++ For Dummies by Stephen R Davis

If you've thought of programmers as elite intelligentsia who possess expertise (and perhaps genes) the rest of us will never have, think again. "C++ For Dummies, 5th Edition", debunks the myths, blasts the barriers, shares the secrets, and gets you started. In fact, by the end of Chapter 1, you'll be able to create a C++ program. OK, it won't be newest, flashiest video game, but it might be a practical, customized inventory control or record keeping program.Most people catch on faster when they actually DO something, so "C++ For Dummies" includes a CD ROM that gives you all you need to start programming (except the guidance in the book, of course), including: Dev C, a full featured, integrated C++ compiler and editor you install to get down to business; the source code for the programs in the book, including code for Budget, programs that demonstrate principles in the book; documentation for the Standard Template Library; online C++ help files written by Stephen Randy Davis, author of "C++ Weekend Crash Course", "C++ for Dummies", takes you through the programming process step by step.You'll discover how to: generate an executable; create source code, commenting it as you go and using consistent code indentation and naming conventions; write declarations and name variables, and calculate expressions; write and use a function, store sequences in arrays, and declare and use pointer variables; understand classes and object oriented programming; work with constructors and destructors; use inheritance to extend classes; use stream I/O; comment your code as you go, and use consistent code indentation and naming conventions; and automate programming with the Standard Template Library (STL). "C++ for Dummies 5th Edition" is updated for the newest ANSI standard to make sure you're up to code. Note: CD ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.
..remains a strong contender among object-oriented programming languages. (Library Journal, October 1, 2004)
