C++ for Programmers

Written in the Deitels' proven style, this comprehensive guide to learning C++ is now available in a special edition for professionals!- A comprehensive tutorial to the C++ programming language, for programmers who are new to C++ and to object-oriented programming.- Uses the Deitels' signature 'live code' style, where every programming concept is explored in the context of a complete working program, not a code fragment.- Covers everything from the basics to advanced topics such as the Boost libraries. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the C++ programming language. It is written for programmers who are new to C++ and new to object-oriented programming, but who have experience with another language, such as C or Perl. It is written in the Deitel's signature 'Live Code' style, where every programming concept is explored in the context of a complete working program, not a code fragment. All code is carefully documented, and output screens appear in the text right next to the code listings. The book contains a remarkably rich library of sample code. Deitel books are known for their completeness, and this one does not disappoint - this book contains hundreds of example C++ programs with thousands of lines of C++ source code. It covers the Boost library, which will be a key component of the next C++ standard.

Paul J. Deitel and Dr. Harvey M. Deitel are the founders of Deitel & Associates, Inc., the internationally recognized programming languages authoring, corporate-training and Internet business development organization. The Deitels have written many international best-selling programming-language professional books and textbooks that millions of people worldwide have used to master C++, C, Java™, C#, Visual Basic®, Visual C++® XML, Perl, Python, and Internet and web programming.
