Thinking in C++: Volume 2: Practical Programming (4th Edition)

Description

This text fills the need for a practical C++ topics book beyond the introductory level. No other text covers the topics needed to prepare students for production C++ programming. It streamlines the process of learning the C++ language, presenting material a simple step at a time, which allows the reader to digest each concept before moving on, and provides them with a solid foundation in C++.

Key Features

• Emphasis on advanced testing techniques to produce optimized error free code.
• In depth coverage of STL with real world reusable code examples.
• Simple short exercises that simplify complex programming routines.
• Both authors are highly respected and widely known.
