Synopsis

With over 275,000 sold, Harvey and Paul Deitel's C++ How to Program is the world's best-selling introduction to C++ programming. The Deitels' groundbreaking How to Program series offers unparalleled breadth and depth of programming concepts and intermediate-level topics for further study. The books in this series feature hundreds of complete, working programs with thousands of lines of code. Deitels' C++ How to Program is the most comprehensive, practical introduction to C++ ever published-with hundreds of hands-on exercises, roughly 250 complete programs written and documented for easy learning, and exceptional insight into good programming practices, maximizing performance, avoiding errors, debugging, and testing. The updated Sixth Edition now includes an introduction to the Internet and World Wide Web with an emphasis on Web 2.0; a new chapter on game programming with the OGRE graphics library and Open AL; an overview of the forthcoming C++Ox standard; and a new chapter on the Open Source Boost libraries.  The new edition continues to use string and vector classes to make earlier examples more object-oriented. Large chapters are broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Also included are separate chapters on recursion and searching/sorting. The Sixth Edition retains every key concept and technique ANSI C++ developers need to master: control statements, functions, arrays, pointers and strings, classes and data abstraction, operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, I/O, templates, exception handling, file processing, data structures, and more. It also includes a detailed introduction to Standard Template Library (STL) containers, container adapters, algorithms, and iterators. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all the source code from the book. Aimed at readers with little or no programming experience, this text teaches programming by presenting the concepts in the context of full working programs and takes an early objects approach and is a valuable reference for programmers and anyone interested in learning the C++ programming language and object-oriented development in C++.

 

About this title

From the Back Cover

The complete, authoritative DEITEL¨ LIVE-CODE introduction to C++, object-oriented programming (OOP) and object-oriented design (OOD) with the UML™ 2

C++ is one of the most popular object-oriented programming languages. This new edition of the world’s most widely used C++ textbook introduces game programming with the Ogre libraries.

 

"An excellent ‘objects first’ coverage of C++ that remains accessible to beginners. The example-driven presentation is enriched by the optional UML case study that contextualizes the material in an ongoing software engineering project."–Gavin Osborne, Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology

"Introducing the UML to students early on is a great idea."–Raymond Stephenson, Microsoft

 

"Good use of diagrams, especially of the activation call stack and recursive functions."–Amar Raheja, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

 

"Terrific discussion of pointers—probably the best I have seen."–Anne B. Horton, Lockheed Martin

 

"Great coverage of polymorphism and how the compiler implements polymorphism ‘under the hood.’ I wish I had such a clear presentation of data structures when I was a student."–Ed James-Beckham, Borland

 

"Includes a nice introduction to searching and sorting, and Big-O."–Robert Myers, Florida State University

 

"Ogre is a free world-class rendering engine that has been used in several commercial games. The Ogre chapter is
a great introduction, providing well documented and easy to understand examples that will have you creating your own simple computer games in no time! "–Casey Borders (Creator of OgreAL), Sensis Corp.

 

"Getting a new user to the stage of creating a functional and playable Ogre-based computer game in 40 pages is a great achievement."–Steve Streeting (Creator of Ogre), Torus Knot Software Ltd.

 

" The Boost/C++0x chapter will get you up and running quickly with memory management and regular expression libraries, plus whet your appetite for new C++ features being standardized."–Ed Brey, Kohler Co.

 

"Excellent introduction to the Standard Template Library (STL). The best book on C++ programming for the serious student!"–Richard Albright, Goldey-Beacom College

 

"Just when you think you are focused on learning one topic, suddenly you discover you’ve learned more than you expected."–Chad Willwerth, University of Washington, Tacoma

 

"The most thorough C++ treatment of I’ve seen. Replete with real-world case studies covering the full software development lifecycle. Code examples are extraordinary!" –Terrell Hull, Logicalis Integration Solutions

C++ How to Program, 6/e, provides a comprehensive coverage of object-oriented programming in C++, including several major integrated case studies: the GradeBook class, the Time class, the Employee class and the optional OOD/UML™ 2 ATM System.
