Product Description
What do Adobe, Microsoft, Amazon.com, and Google have in common? They all use C++ to develop products and provide services! As one of the world’s most popular programming languages, C++ opens up a world of possibilities—if you’re willing to learn it! This guide makes that task easy by tackling both object-oriented programming principles and the ABCs of C++ itself through a series of task-based lessons that employ friendly language and a plethora of visual aids to explain every aspect of the development language. From basic syntax and data types to working with numbers, characters, loops, and arrays, master programmers Larry Ullman and Andreas Signer cover all the C++ fundamentals at just the level of detail you require. Using examples tested on Windows, Unix, and Mac OS X operating systems, this streamlined guide prepares you to start developing C++ apps for any platform. Throughout, you’ll find the tips, techniques, and sound real-world advice that have made Visual QuickStart Guides the No. 1 training source for today’s tech warriors!

This book helped me a lot. - Reviewed on 2006-08-31
2 customers found this review helpful.
I have programed in C for many years. I recently undertook the task of rewriting a modeling program to have a GUI. I adopted the FLTK, a C++ framework, for the GUI portion of the program. To use FLTK, I had to learn about classes, objects, inheritance, virtual function, etc. I started reading Ullman & Signer in Chapter 7, Introducing Objects, and found these topics clearly discussed and explicitly demonstrated. My program is to be run on multiple platforms, and Ullman & Signer discuss development for multiple platforms. I posted a question on the book's forum page and received an answer in about a day.
Previous reviewers have commented negatively on the format of the book and that it does not give an exhaustive treatment of C++. I mostly agree with those comments, but the book worked for me.
