Using object-oriented terminology from the start, Object-Oriented Programming Using C++, Fourth Edition, will provide readers with a solid foundation in C++ programming. Like its predecessors, the fourth edition uses clear, straightforward examples to teach both the syntax of the C++ language and sound programming principles. It begins with an overview of object-oriented programming and C++, and then builds upon this knowledge to teach increasingly complex concepts, such as inheritance, templates, handling exceptions, and advanced input and output. Aimed at providing readers with the most current programming knowledge, this edition has been updated to reflect the latest software, Visual C++ 2008.
Joyce Farrell was formerly a Professor of Computer Information Systems at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois. Prior to joining Harper College, Farrell taught Computer Information Systems at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and McHenry County College in Crystal Lake, Illinois. She is the author of many Programming books for Course Technology, a part of Cengage Learning[1]. Her books are widely used as textbooks in higher education institutions.
"When I write my books I use the same language, examples, analogies, and entertaining exercises that made my class sessions fun and made the lessons stick. I was always thrilled when former students would return for a visit and tell me how they were able to solve problems at their new jobs when others were stumped because of the thorough programming backgrounds they got in my courses." -Joyce Farrell
I do not recommend anone to read this book when learning C++ as it does not include some of the important topics. The book keeps and summarises some topics.
