The art of C++ : [learn the secrets of high-energy C++ programming from a genuine C++ guru ; master the expressive power of the C++ syntax and libraries ; create practical applications such as a garbage collector, a thread control panel, an internet file

Learn how to apply C++ to a wide array of sophisticated applications. In his clear prose, C++ expert and the world's leading programming author Herb Schildt, shares practical, high-powered applications of C++, revealing some of the most interesting features of the language in the process. Pure code subsystems that can be adapted to your own programs, financial calculations, and file utilities are discussed. A C++ interpreter, an AI-based search engine, plus a Web-based example for those programmers who interface C++ with the Internet are also included. With downloadable code offered, this resource has something for every C++ developer. Library Journal C++ remains a strong contender among object-oriented programming languages (see Computer Media, LJ 6/1/03), and updated guides are always useful. C++ for Dummies assumes no previous programming experience, befitting the view of C++ as a foundational language. It includes source code, sample program, online help files, and the Dev-C++ compiler/editor on CD-ROM. Coverage ranges from how to enter, compile, and execute a program to using templates, while the "Part of Tens" sections at the end cover the most important optional features of Dev-C++ and ways to avoid adding bugs. A supplemental purchase to more thorough guides; for medium and larger libraries. Eschewing the basics, Art shows intermediate programmers the power of the language and how it applies to a range of programming tasks. Source code for sometimes extensive examples is available online. Extensive background and explanations-as well as an obvious enthusiasm for the language-make this a useful guide for those wanting to delve further. Recommended for larger libraries.
