Thinking in C++. Volume 2, Practical ProgrammingThinking in C++. Volume 2, Practical Programming
Aimed at sophomore and junior undergraduate students taking courses in advanced C++ programming offered in computer science departments, this text streamlines the process of learning C++, presenting material in steps to prepare students for production C++ programming. Coverage encompasses building stable systems, the Standard C++ Library, and special topics, such as design patterns and concurrency. Chapter exercises are included. Eckel has written other books on C++. Allison teaches computer science at Utah Valley State College. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Best selling author Bruce Eckel has joined forces with Chuck Allison to write Thinking in C++, Volume 2, the sequel to the highly received and best selling Thinking in C++, Volume 1. Eckel is the master of teaching professional programmers how to quickly learn cutting edge topics in C++ that are glossed over in other C++ books. KEY TOPICS: In Thinking in C++, Volume 2, the authors cover the finer points of exception handling, defensive programming and string and stream processing that every C++ programmer needs to know. Special attention is given to generic programming where the authors reveal little known techniques for effectively using the Standard Template Library. In addition, Eckel and Allison demonstrate how to apply RTTI, design patterns and concurrent programming techniques to improve the quality of industrial strength C++ applications. MARKET: This book is targeted at programmers of all levels of experience who want to master C++.
For sophomore/junior level courses in Advanced C++ Programming offered in Computer Science departments.
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++.
