Book DescriptionWith nearly 250,000 sold, Harvey and Paul Deitel'sC++ How to Programis the world's best-selling introduction to C++ programming. Now, this classic has been thoroughly updated! The authors have given this edition a general tune-up of object-oriented programming presentation. The new Fourth Edition has a new code-highlighting style that uses an alternate background color to focus the reader on new code elements in a program. The Deitels' C++ How to Program is the most comprehensive, practical introduction to C++ ever published -- with hundreds of hands-on exercises, roughly 250 complete programs written and documented for easy learning, and exceptional insight into good programming practices, maximizing performance, avoiding errors, debugging, and testing. This new Fourth Edition has an upgraded OOD/UML case to latest UML standard, as well as significant improvements to exception handling and operator overloading chapters. Features enhanced treatment of strings and arrays as objects earlier in the book using standard C++ classes, string and vector. The Fourth Edition retains every key concept and technique ANSI C++ developers need to master: control structures, functions, arrays, pointers and strings, classes and data abstraction, operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, I/O, templates, exception handling, file processing, data structures, and more. It also includes a detailed introduction to Standard Template Library (STL) containers, container adapters, algorithms, and iterators. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all the code from the book as well as essential software for learning C++. For anyone who wants to learn C++, improve their existing C++ skills, and master object-oriented development with C++.

Rating: - Of Syntax && Semantics....
The Deitel's give you - the inclined reader either entering into or creating within the programming world - a framework upon which to rectify your programming prognostics. Programming is a fine art, delicate though demanding, and one not readily dealt with by the lazy or pseudo-informed. Take my specific background for instance. A college-level course in Problem Solving with C; essentially an intermediate electrical engineering course teaching the ropes of the C language in addition to hand-coding ... Read More
Rating: - THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES
Why so many CS departments seemingly choose this book is beyond me. After taking an introductory computer science course I'm convinced that I could write a much better tutorial.
The explanations are hardly intelligible. The format is horribly circumlocutious. Jargon is awkwardly explained; the code is horrible; the ordering of topics is inexplicable.
Stay away. Spread the word.
Rating: - The authority on C++ from the C++ authorities
This is my 3rd copy of this book. I had the 3rd edition in college, the 2nd edition for a work related project, and finally this copy (4th edition) for another college class. These books definitely got better in later editions, and they were good to begin with.
These guys go over everything, I mean EVERYTHING. The one fault I have heard is that there is too much detail. The fact is, that is the material, there is a lot to C++, and it is well presented here. This material is presented ... Read More
Rating: - c++ became fun!
We are moving from Delphi to C++, i picked up several books and courses, but this one (by the way here in Europe we do have the fifth edition...) made C++ clear and easy to understand. It kickstarted us developing in c++.
Next to C++ they also give a good insight in software developing, UML tools and a deep explanation why things are done in a particulair way. So the book is not simple a list of all the possibilities with C++, but alsos give background on development en programming, something ... Read More
Rating: - There is NOTHING like it!
Below is what I told Mr. Deitel and you novices out there should read it too:
From a Novices' stand-point, these books are a God Send. I'm as novice a programmer as they come and all the Deitel books I have studied (which are quite a few in number now), have always been very simplistic when explaining such complex programming theories. Thanks very much for understanding and tailoring your material toward what the novice can understand, and would like to see in a programming book.
