C++ How to Program, 4th Edition

This Fourth Edition of the world's most widely used C++ textbook explains C++'s extraordinary capabilities, presents an optional object-oriented design and implementation case study with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) from the Object Management Group^™, and introduces n-tier Web-applications development with CGI.

Dr. Harvey M. Deitel and Paul J. Deitel are the founders of Deitel & Associates, Inc., the internationally recognized corporate-training and content-creation organization specializing in C++, C, Visual C++^® .NET, Java^™, C#, Visual Basic^® .NET, XML, Python, Perl, Internet, Web, .NET and object technologies. The Deitels are the authors of several of the world's best-selling programming-language textbooks, including Java How to Program, 4/e, and Internet & World Wide Web How to Program, 2/e.

In C++ How to Program, 4/e, the Deitels introduce the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and generic programming in C++. Key topics include:

• Control structures/Functions/Pointers
• Classes/Objects/Encapsulation
• OOP/inheritance/Polymorphism
• Object-Oriented Design with the UML
• string and vector objects
• Pointer-based arrays and strings
• Exception handling/Operator overloading
• Templates/Data structures/Files/Streams
• Standard Template Library (STL)
• Bit and character manipulation
• Namespaces/Run-Time Type Information
• N-tier Web applications/CGI/XHTMLTM^™

C++ How to Program, 4/e, helps students build real-world C++ applications. It includes:

• Hundreds of LIVE-CODE^™ programs with screen captures that show exact outputs
• Extensive Internet and World Wide Web resources to encourage further research
• Hundreds of tips, recommended practices and cautions—all marked with icons

C++ How to Program's teaching resources include Web sites (http://www.deitel.com, http://www.prenhall.com/deitel and http://www.informit.com/deitel) with the book's code examples (also on the enclosed CD) and information for faculty, students and professionals; an optional CD (C++ Multimedia Cyber Classroom, 4/e) with solutions to approximately half the exercises in C++ How to Program, 4/e, interactivity features—including hyperlinks and audio walkthroughs of the code examples.
