C++ from the Ground Up

Designed to teach readers how to program C++, this text presents examples of source code and shows the results that each code produces. The book encourages experimentation with the code presented to gain firsthand experience. C++ is the current state-of-the-art as applied to computer programming languages and is the choice of professional programmers worldwide. C++ combines power with flexibility, efficiency with elegance and tradition with innovation. Each element of C++ has real purpose and very few redundant features exist. The book covers the basics through to advanced topics and provides numerous examples to aid the learning process. Although the overall structure of the book remains the same (tutorial in nature), there are updates and changes to nearly every page, plus two additional chapters on the Standard Template Library (STL) and Run-Time Type ID (FTTI), as well as many other smaller language modifications. Herbert Schildt is the author of "C: The Complete Reference", "Teach Yourself C++" and "C++: The Complete Reference".
