Programming Principles and Practice Using.C++

BINSEARCH GEEFT SOMS EEN REQUIRES PASSWORD PROTECT, DIT IS NIET JUIST !!

The creator of the C++ programming language brings us a new textbook in programming principles that could well become a classic tome. 
For anyone with a modicum of programming experience, the name Bjarne Stroustrup should be familiar. 
He developed the C++ programming language way back in the late 1970s/early 1980s. 
He is also author of the classic C++ tome The C++ programming language. With such a pedigree you would expect his new book, 
on the principles and practices of programming, to be more focussed on doing things the C++ way and it is. 
However, this works in the book?s favour.


The contents

The book is a fair-size doorstop at just under 1300 pages, but the layout is clear and easy to follow. 
The writing style is familiar yet informative and was reminiscent of the better tutors I have encountered in my own education 
(albeit some time ago now). Briefly put, it made learning the subject interesting and mad me want to keep reading.

Beginning with the classic ?hello world!? program, each chapter of the book includes well laid-out instruction and 
description of the principles at hand along with practical exercises and tests. 
The book not only covers practical topics such as objects and classes but also looks at principles such as considerations 
to be made before putting hand to keyboard. The structure is reasonably non-standard, with chapters on input/output coming 
later in the book than would normally be expected but in the context of programming principles rather than teaching a language this works.
