Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example

0.0

Accelerated C++ introduces a radical new approach to teaching C++. It starts with the most useful concepts rather than the most primitive ones, so the student can begin writing programs immediately. It describes real problems and solutions, not just language features. And it includes the standard library from the start. The authors proved the effectiveness of this approach in their courses at Stanfordand Princeton, where their students learned to write substantial programs their first day in the classroom. Salient Features Start with the ideas that help you get the most done with the least work! Use the Standard Library and STL to solve real problems right away. Based on the authors' breakthrough C++ immersion courses at Stanford University. Table Of Contents Working with Strings. Looping and Counting. Working with Batches of Data.
