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, 5^th 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
Automate programming with the Standard Template Library (STL)

C++ for Dummies 5^th 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.
