C++ with Object Oriented Programming

by Paul S. Wang

Book Overview

This text treats C++ as a tool for bridging real world applications, and addresses basic theoretical concepts of object-oriented programming. No knowledge of C or ANSI C is assumed. All aspects of C++... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Excellent Book to read for graduate level students

I didn't have the chance to read the book thoroughly until recently when I have free time to go over it all. I find all the fundamental aspects of the C++ programming has been explained thoroughly and very clearly. But I would not recommend anyone with very little C++ experience to read the book because it's not meant for beginners.

Great Binding: I refer to it constantly and it's still good!

This book is concise and clear and fast moving which might lose some folks who do not notice the quantity and (quality) of information in each page.Page 50 explains Objects and member functions so simply that you breeze through it "understanding" everything then at page 55 it declares "so now you can write the member functions withdraw and balance yourself" Shock horrors! And you sit up in surprise and sure enough with a little effort and re-reading, you can!I religeously worked out "quick sort" by hand (as suggested, which is the only way to see it, followed the expansion of this theme later on with the "generic" sort using functional variables and bingo I got it! so much so that when I came across "qsort" in Borland C++ Builder I recognised it instantly and straight away was able to refer back to page 150 as reminder for how to impliment functions passed as variables.I did not know anything about C++ before this book (I had six C lessons) and it is all I have needed - self taught. But then I am 45 and go real slow!

Best C++/OOP book hands-down, especially for engineers

We use this textbook at U. of Texes and found it to be excellent. It explains concepts clearly and precisely. We especially appreciate the examples --- they are not trivial or contrived. But they are not so complicated that one gets lost in them. The book has by far the best set of examples. The matrix, vector examples are welcome for engineers and scientists. People who are "pure software" types looking for short examples may have problems with this book but they won't learn much anyway.

fine c++ AND OOP book for Computer Science major

a good book not only on C++, but also a good intro. to OOP. strongly recommended. but, it's not for everyone, just like the Unix OS.

This book has been rated best by ACM Computing Review

The book is one of the best introduction to C++ and OOP. It covers many topics in depth and gives examples that show how to use C++ to write good Object-oriented programs. It has been selected as textbook by many Universities in their computer science programs.Warning, this book is not for those who are not well prepared and looking for "spoon-feeding" type books.
