Publisher's Synopsis
This package includes one of the leading textbooks for an introductory or intermediate C++ course, Absolute C++ and a brand new manual, Addison-Wesley's Beginner's Guide to C++ .NET. This new supplement contains over 40 pages describing how to install and set-up Microsoft's C++ compiler, and also includes a several CD-ROMs of C++.NET.
Absolute C++, offers complete coverage of the C++ programming language. It provides all the tools necessary for experienced and novice programmers to master C++, including: thorough coverage of the Standard Template Library; complete and fully executable code throughout; sections highlighting programming tips and common pitfalls; and a logical order of coverage of C++ topics in order for students to better understand the language. This book is appropriate for introductory courses covering the C++ language, intermediate programming courses introducing C++ to students familiar with another language and will act as a total reference beyond a student's coursework.
This book also comes with Addison-Wesley's CodeMate. This online program competency builder transforms a student's reading experience into a dynamic programming environment with a click of a mouse. CodeMate allows students to view, compile, run, and edit programming problems directly from the textbook without installing a compiler.
