About the Book:Object-Oriented Programming Using C++, Second Edition provides the experienced programmer with a clear and thorough introduction to the object-oriented paradigm using ANSI C++. Each chapter introduces you to specific C++ language features that support object-oriented programming concepts, including the most recent additions to the language such as STL, namespaces, RTTI, and the bool type. Best-selling author and C++ authority, Ira Pohl, employs his trademark approach of dissection to demonstrate key programming elements and idioms and to teach you how to evaluate tradeoffs and make critical design choices. Features *Reflects the latest developments in the C++ ANSI standard including substantial detail on the new STL libraries. *Explains how an object-oriented programming concept is supported by a language feature. *Teaches by example, introducing you to full working programs right from the start. *Incorporates interactive, proven exercises to help check your understanding of key OO concepts and put them into practice. *Provides code for all example programs covered in the book, as well as adjunct programs that illustrate points made in the book.About the Author: Ira Pohl is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Cruz and holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University.
