Thinking in C++. Volume 1: Introduction to Standard C++: Introduction to Standard C++ Vol 1: Amazon.de: Bruce Eckel: Englische Bücher

Amazon.co.uk

Fully revised and beefed up with plenty of new material on today's Standard C++, the new edition of Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++: Volume 1 presents an excellent tutorial to mastering this rich (and sometimes daunting) programming language. Filled with expert advice and written in a patient, knowledgeable style, this book makes an excellent choice for anyone who wants to learn C++.

It is the author's effective presentation and especially clear writing style, along with dozens of effective code examples, which help make this book a standout. The text first sets the stage for using C++ with a tour of what object-oriented programming is all about, as well as the software design life cycle. The author then delves into every aspect of C++, from basic keywords and programming principles to more advanced topics, like function and operator overloading, virtual inheritance, exception handling, namespaces and templates. C++ is a complex language, and the author covers a lot of ground using today's Standard C++, but without getting bogged down in excessive detail.

The emphasis here is on practical programming and so there is nuts-and-bolts advice on using header files, pre-processor directives and namespaces to organise code effectively. Each chapter ends with exercises (usually about two dozen), and the entire text of the book is available on the accompanying CD-ROM. (So is the second volume, which tours Standard C++ classes and other advanced topics.)

Whether you have read the first edition of this book or not, there is much to mine from Thinking in C++. This new version continues to set a high standard as an approachable and thorough tutorial for learning today's C++. --Richard Dragan, amazon.com

Topics covered: Introduction to objects, inheritance, composition, polymorphism, exception handling, analysis and design fundamentals, advantages of C++, transitioning from C, compiling and building programs, writing C++ functions, flow control, C++ operators, data types, casting, debugging tips, pointers to functions, designing re-usable C++ classes, conditional compilation and header files, access specifiers, constructors and destructors, function overloading and default arguments, using const and static effectively, inlining, namespaces, references, copy constructors, operator overloading, using new and delete for dynamic objects, virtual functions, abstract classes, introduction to templates, and iterators.

Finally, a decent C++ Tutorial 15. Juli 2000

Von A. Vander Meulen

Format:Taschenbuch

Thing in C++ is an excellent introduction to C++ programming. As a fairly competent C programmer, I found his book to be clear and readable: focusing on the essentials and stepping you through C++ in an orderly and straightfoward fashion. I highly recommend it for any programmer looking to get into C++.

Mr. Eckel's text and example code rely heavily on the STL (aka the ANSI Standard C++ Library), which is an excellent idea. However, the text does little more than give you a flavor of what the STL is, and what it can do. The author promises that a second volume (Thinking in C++, 2nd. Editon, Volume 2) is in the works, which will delve deep into STL. He refers you to his website to see rough drafts of this planned text and a companion text (The Thinking in C++, 2nd. Edition, Volume 1 Annotated Solutions Guide by Chuck Allison).

Unfortunately, it appears that neither of these companion books will be published for at least a year. The text he supplies on the website is still (obviously) in very incomplete form.

This leaves me more than a little disappointed. If you buy this text, you'll find yourself (like me) returning to Amazon.com in a few days to find someone else's book on STL!

Glückwunsch, Bruce Eckel! 29. Mai 2000

Von Ein Kunde

Mr. Eckel ist ein Künstler: Er hat C++ derart in sich aufgesogen, dass er auch die schwierigsten Zusammenhänge und die übelsten Fallstricke darstellen kann, als ginge es um das Eintüten von Briefen. Bei mir, in C mit Erfahrung, aber in OOP und C++ völlig unbewandert, hat diese gründliche und auch im Original sehr gut verständliche Einführung ein Aha-Erlebnis nach dem anderen geweckt. Schon nach den ersten drei Kapiteln hatte ich eine Ahnung von der umfassenden Logik, die hinter C++ steht, und diese Ahnung hat mich bis zum Schluss nicht getrogen, vielmehr bestätigte sie sich Schritt für Schritt auf der langen Reise durch das C++-Land.

Man darf freilich nicht zu viel erwarten: Rom wurde nicht an einem Tag erbaut, und C++ lernt sich auch mit den besten Lehrern nicht in wenigen Wochen! Aber die relativ lange Zeit, die man mit diesem Buch verbringt, ist jede Minute wert, auch wenn man übersetzen muss. Leider ist die offizielle Übersetzung ins Deutsche derart mangelhaft, dass ich sie in keinerlei Weise empfehlen kann: Sie verdunkelt fast alles, was das Original ans Licht bringt.

Einen Schönheitsfehler hat dieses Buch dann aber doch: das Schriftbild. Es ist für die Augen sehr anstrengend, dem eng gesetzten Text und dem noch kompakter gesetzten Code zu folgen. Und das ist auch der Grund, warum ich einen Stern abgezogen habe. Der nackte Inhalt hätte meines Erachtens 10 Sterne verdient!

Great self-teaching text on C++ - Highly recommend! 9. Juni 2000

If you have some programming experience (in any language) and would like to learn C++ then this is the book! I had some procedural programming experience in Fortran, Pascal and C. I now wanted to learn OOP with C++. This book exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend this book to any novice, advance, and expert programmers wishing to learn C++!

If you are new to programming (ie you never wrote a computer program) and would like to make C++ your first language then this book may be too advanced for you. Try "Object-Oriented Programming in C++" by Lafore. Lafore starts from ground zero in his book. Bruce Eckel assumes the reader of his book has some programming experience. Not a lot but some ...:)
