Book Description
Program wth objects in C and C++. Discover the secrets of effective C and C++ object-oriented programming with Allen I. Holub's C+C++: Programming with C and C++. Step-by-step, you'll see how to harness the best features of these two languages-messages, operator overloading, inheritance, polymorphism and more-to write powerful, practical object-oriented programs. Packed with practical examples throughout, this hands-on programming tool delivers everything you need to implement objects using C only-master the C features essential to any C++ application-execute a C++ feature in C-write a reliable collection-class library-and much, much more.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This was an extremely valuable book for me in learning C++. It will be very helpful for any proficient C programmer in making the transition to object-oriented programming in C++. The book is well written and well organized. Starting with a demonstration of how object-oriented programming can be done in C, Holub brings the reader though the transition to C++ very directly and neatly. The examples he uses are excellent, not the trivial ones you find in many "learning C++" books. The book also effectively teaches good C++ programming practice while you are learning. This is very important since sloppy coding practices can be very hard and painful to unlearn later. The book repays carful study and is well worth the money and time spent. I do have 3 criticisms of the book: 1) It's out of date. A 2nd edition that brings it up-to-date with Standard C++ would make this the best book of its kind. For the C++ beginner, though, that doesn't detract much from the book's usefullness. Everything in the book will still work. 2) There are numerous typos and minor errors in the example code which can lead to confusion. Being able to find them though, made me feel good. I knew I was really learning the subject. 3) The book would also benefit by having useful exercises at the end of each chapter for a student to perform.
