The complete C++ primer

The Complete C++ Primer takes a hands-on approach to teaching the increasingly popular C++ programming language. A wide range of programmers--academic, professional, and technical--will find this tutorial far more readable than existing books on the subject, which are often little more than reference guides. While a basic knowledge of C programming is assumed, all new C++ concepts are introduced with examples that readers are encouraged to try for themselves. The primer includes several topics not covered in previous books on the subject--object-oriented programming techniques, typecasting, the representation of data with classes, and the building of object-oriented programming tools. All of the programming examples are designed to work with standard C++ translators and compilers.
