Publisher's Synopsis
Get Up to Speed on C++ – in a Weekend!

Or maybe you just like a challenge. In any event, we’ve got a solution for you – C++ Weekend Crash Course. Open the book Friday evening and on Sunday afternoon, after completing 30 fast, focused sessions, you’ll be able to dive right in and start building cutting–edge C++ applications. It’s as simple as that.
