A Complete Guide to Programming in C++

Each double page spread in the book is organized to provide a description of the language elements on the right hand page while illustrating them by means of graphic and sample programs on the left. The sample programs are chosen to illustrate a typical application for each language element. In addition, case studies introduce the reader to a wide range of application scenarios.

At the end of chapter exercises and sample solutions allow students to test and enhance their performance and understanding of C++. Completing these tests, helps students to gain the marketable skills necessary to compete in tomorrow's competitive software development environment.
