C++
How to Program, Second Edition (or Forth Edition), by H.
M. Deitel and P. J. Deitel, published by Prentice Hall, 1998 (2003),
Translated by: Dr. Saheb Zamani.
Useful References --
Books:
There are well over a thousand books in
print relating to C and/or C++ programming. Many are highly
specialized, but there are many books which could be useful to
someone just learning C/C++. Following are some of the C++ books I
recommend.
Printed
Books:
- Object-Oriented Programming
in C++, Third Edition by Robert Lafore published by SAMS,
1999. The ISBN is 0-57169-160-X This book
provides a clear and well-written description of C and
C++. The order of presentation of the topics is somewhat
different than Deitel and Deitel, and the level of detail is
much reduced. This is a good alternate if you'd like a
different style of presentation and different examples.
- Programming Visual C++,
Fifth Edition by David J. Kruglinski and George Shepherd
published by Microsoft Press, 1998. The ISBN is
1572318570. This is the book by Microsoft Press is the
one that that Microsoft recommends for teaching Visual C++
6.0. It is comprehensive and tailored specifically to
Microsoft's version of the language. The book is based on
an earlier successful series of C++ books. Caution:
this book is much better if you already have background in
C/C++.
- C++ for Dummies 3rd
Edition by Stephen R. Davis published by IDG Books, 1998.
The ISBN is 0764503898. This book assumes that the
reader knows some C language. For this reason many readers
will find it difficult to understand (despite its title),
particularly at the beginning. Later in the book it's
clarity and simplicity of presentation seems to work
better. It is written in a light-hearted style.

Books:
- Macmillan Computer Publishing
-- you can sign up for a free (!) personal bookshelf with up
to five computer (including C++) books
- Thinking
in C++ 2nd Edition by Bruce Eckel published by
Prentice Hall and will be available in 2000, but is available
now on-line. This book is oriented to large scale systems
development and teaches object concepts right from the
beginning.
Tutorials:
Most C++ tutorials are for
specialized groups of users, such as those learnign C++ after
knowing C, or after knowing Pascal.

Integrity of Effort
Every student is required do his/her own
work. Every project submitted must include a signed statement
that the project is solely the work of the person submitting the
project. Any one who copies another person's program, or part of the
program, and submits it as his/her own work will receive an "F"
grade in the course. Anyone who allows their work to be copied will
receive an "F" grade in the course.
