Description
In this book the author distills over 700 pages of ANSI standard into a concise road map to the key syntax and semantics of C++. Along the way Professor Pohl provides programming and style tips based on many years of professional practice. C++ Distilled brings up to date existing C++ literature by covering important new features of the language including STL, namespaces, RTTI, and the bool type. This text is a good companion to any C++ programming book. The book's website contains adjunct programs that illustrate points made in the book in addition to the programs covered in the book.
More details
Person
Ira Pohl is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Cruz and holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University. His research interests include artificial intelligence, the C and C++ programming languages, practical complexity problems, heuristic search methods, deductive algorithms, and educational and social issues. He originated error analysis in heuristic search methods and deductive algorithms.
Professor Pohl was formerly a Mackay professor at University of California- Berkeley and a ZWO fellow in the Netherlands. He is the author or co-author of Object-Oriented Programming Using C++, C++ Distilled: A Concise Ansi/Iso Reference and Style Guide, C by Dissection: The Essentials of C Programming, A Book on C: Programming in C, C++ for C Programmers, C++ for Fortran Programmers, C++ for Pascal Programmers, and Turbo C: The Essentials of C Programming, all published by Addison-Wesley.
