If you dont have a lot of time, but still want to learn the latest in C++, you dont have to learn C first. You might learn more by digging into current language features and classes from the very beginning. Thats the approach thats offered by Accelerated C++, a text that delves into more advanced C++ features like templates and Standard Template Library (STL) collection classes early on. This book arguably can get a motivated beginning programmer into C++ more quickly than other available tutorials.What separates this title from the rest of the pack is that it jumps right in with samples that take advantage of the Standard C++ of today--from streams to built-in container classes, such as vectors and linked lists. Early examples are more complex than in other books, but the thoroughness and relaxed pace of the explanations will bring the novice up to speed. (Although it ships at a slender 350 pages, Accelerated C++ is packed with samples, tips, and example problems about 10 per chapter.)After a tour of basic C++, the book looks at more advanced C++ features, such as templates, including built-in support for containers. Besides tapping the strength of Standard C++, you also will learn to design with your own templates. (Other tutorials would defer this material until later on.) The authors have tested the approach in the book in their own teaching, and honed a set of worthwhile examples that will help anyone get familiar with these powerful language features. All examples make use of the command line and console (without GUI programs), but the advantage is that this code should run on any of todays operating systems and compilers. Later sections cover the basics of class design, which include good coverage of operator overloading and inheritance.With its innovative approach to teaching the language, Accelerated C++ will challenge readers in the right way. It suggests that you dont need to learn C to be productive in C++. Written in an approachable style, it deserves a close look from any C++ novice. --Richard DraganTopics covered:Introduction to C++Console I/O with stream classesBasic string handlingLoop and flow-control statementsArraysUsing functions and methodsUsing Standard Template Library (STL) containers (vectors, linked lists, and maps)IteratorsSorting and generic functionsBasic class designPointers and arraysFile I/OMemory-management techniques, including statically and dynamically allocated memoryAdding stream support to custom classesConversion operatorsOperator overloadingFriend functionsInheritancePolymorphism and virtual functionsHandle idioms for classes, including reference countingQuick reference to the C++ languageProduct DescriptionWant to learn how to program in C++ immediately? Want to start writing better, more powerful C++ programs today? Accelerated C++s uniquely modern approach will help you learn faster and more fluently than you ever believed possible. Based on the authors intensive summer C++ courses at Stanford University, Accelerated C++ covers virtually every concept that most professional C++ programmers will ever use -- but it turns the «traditional» C++ curriculum upside down, starting with the high-level C++ data structures and algorithms that let you write robust programs immediately. Once youre getting results, Accelerated C++ takes you «under the hood,» introducing complex language features such as memory management in context, and explaining exactly how and when to use them. From start to finish, the book concentrates on solving problems, rather than learning language and library features for their own sake. The result: Youll be writing real-world programs in no time -- and outstanding code faster than you ever imagined.
