Engineering

Appropriate for intermediate level courses in C++ that assume a background in C.

Learn about the C++ ANSI standard from C++ expert and Standard Committee member Bruce Eckel. Assuming a basic grasp of C, Eckel guides students from understanding C to actually thinking in C++, so that they eventually write code in a total C++ mindset. His goal is to teach students the language so well that it becomes their expressive medium of choice.

• NEW - Coverage of the new ANSI C++ standard—Completely rewritten.

  • Includes comprehensive coverage for the final standard. Ex.___

• NEW - A cross-platform multimedia CD-ROM introduction to ANSI C.

  • Brings non-C programmers up to speed with a foundation in C as a preparation for using this C++ book. Ex.___

• NEW - Emphasis on the most important and most usable features of C++.

  • Gives students practical advice on how to use the key features of C++ and makes the book a great reference. Ex.___

  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++.

"This book is a tremendous achievement. You owe it to yourself to have a copy on your shelf. The chapter on iostreams is the most comprehensive and understandable treatment of that subject I've seen to date." — Al Stevens Contributing Editor, Doctor Dobbs Journal

"Eckel's book is the only one to so clearly explain how to rethink program construction for object orientation. That the book is also an excellent tutorial on the ins and outs of C++ is an added bonus." — Andrew Binstock, Editor, Unix Review

"Bruce continues to amaze me with his insight into C++, and Thinking in C++ is his best collection of ideas yet. If you want clear answers to difficult questions about C++, buy this outstanding book." — Gary Entsminger Author, The Tao of Objects

"Thinking in C++ patiently and methodically explores the issues of when and how to use inlines, references, operator overloading, inheritance and dynamic objects, as well as advanced topics such as the proper use of templates, exceptions and multiple inheritance. The entire effort is woven in a fabric that includes Eckel's own philosophy of object and program design. A must for every C++ developer's bookshelf, Thinking in C++ is the one C++ book you must have if you're doing serious development with C++." — Richard Male Shaw Contributing Editor, PC Magazine

Bruce Eckel is the author of Thinking in Java and Thinking in C++ (both from Prentice Hall). He provides C++ and Java seminars and design consulting worldwide, has published over 150 articles, was a founding member of the ANSI/ISO C++ committee, and is C++ & Java track chair for the Software Development conference.
