C++ for C Programmers - Softcover

Making the move to C++ is easy and fast with this concise, on-target book by C/C++ expert Ira Pohl. By building on the programmer's knowledge of C, the book provides a seamless transition to C++. Extensive exercises and frequent language comparisons teach concepts quickly and introduce the language's powerful object-oriented features. In addition, Pohl's trademark "Dissection" technique illustrates the underlying structure of programs and helps readers understand design tradeoffs. Based on the proposed ANSI C++ standard, the book covers the latest language features including detailed discussions of templates and exception handling. Features

* Provides a smooth transition to C++ and object-oriented programming for programmers already familiar with C
* Discusses in detail new C++ language features including two new chapters on templates and exception handling
* Contains a new comprehensive reference appendix to C++
* Uses "Dissections," the author's trademark approach, to explain new programming elements and idioms
* Implements a consistent and standard coding style accepted by professionals in the C++ community
