Opis

Up and Running with C++ provides readers with a quick guide to the fundamental concepts of object orientation (O-O) and their implementation in C++. Written in a user-friendly style, no prior knowledge of C or C++ is assumed. The book introduces the concepts and terminology of object-orientation using a step-by-step approach and shows how to implement the central concepts of O-O in C++. The building blocks of the C++ language are clearly presented with numerous examples that will give readers practice in writing applications. The book avoids excessive technical detail and will be ideal for programmers and students who need an easy-to-understand, comprehensive introduction to C++.
