The book presents the concepts in the context of fully tested programs, complete with syntax shading, code highlighting, code walkthroughs and program outputs. The book features 240 C++ applications with over 15,000 lines of proven C++ code, and hundreds of tips that will help you build robust applications.Start with an introduction to C++ using an early classes and objects approach, then rapidly move on to more advanced topics, including templates, exception handling, the Standard Template Library (STL) and selected features from the Boost libraries. You'll enjoy the Deitels' classic treatment of object-oriented programming and the OOD/UML(R) 2 ATM case study, including a complete C++ implementation. When you're finished, you'll have everything you need to build object-oriented C++ applications.The DEITEL(R) Developer Series is designed for practicing programmers.
