Ivor Horton's Beginning C++ : The Complete Language
Ivor Horton · 1998
From the Publisher: C++ is an object oriented programming language based on the original C. It is now the most popular 'professional' language to master and the language used to write most of the applications we all use today. ANSI ( American Standards Institute ) , or sometimes called ISO ( Int. Standards Org. ) C++ is the long awaited standard for the language itself. Over the next year, most of the companies that sell C++ compilers will have tuned their product to work, in the main, to this new standard. C++ code written before the standard will continue to work as before.The book covers all aspects of the language through to Objects and using the Standard Template Library. No knowledge of other programming languages is assumed, although exposure to some form of programming an advantage. Ivor teaches C++ as a first step to real programming, and helps a novice become a competent programmer. The explanations are thorough and leave no gray areas. This also makes the book useful for people with limited programming experience in another language who want a thorough grounding in C++. This book is not specific to any compiler or computer, making it a valuable learning tool regardless of whether you are using an old 486 with DOS, or the latest Sun SparcStation. It is an easy-going tutorial, based on a proven formula of step-by-step examples, friendly explanations and exercises.
