Description
The classic, best-selling Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors book provides a firm foundation in data abstraction that emphasizes the distinction between specifications and implementation as the basis for an object-oriented approach. This new edition offers the latest C++ features and an introduction to using Doxygen--a documentation generator for C++, enhanced coverage of Software Engineering concepts and additional UML diagrams.
