C++ How to Program

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++.
