The 2nd edition of Practical C++ Programming is a complete introduction to the C++ language for programmers who are learning C++.

Reflecting the latest changes to the C++ standard, this 2nd edition takes a useful down-to-earth approach, placing a strong emphasis on how to design clean, elegant code.

In short, to-the-point chapters, all aspects of programming are covered including style, software engineering, programming design, object-oriented design, and debugging. It also covers common mistakes and how to find (and avoid) them.

End of chapter exercises help you ensure you've mastered the material. Practical C++ Programming thoroughly covers: * C++ Syntax * Coding standards and style * Creation and use of object classes * Templates * Debugging and optimization * Use of the C++ preprocessor * File input/output Steve Oualline's clear, easy-going writing style and hands-on approach to learning make Practical C++ Programming a nearly painless way to master this complex but powerful programming language.
