| Summary |
C++ is a powerful, much sought after programming language, but can be daunting to work with, even for engineering professionals. Why is this book so useful? Have you ever wondered: * How do keywords like static and virtual change their meanings according to context? * What are the similarities and differences between Pointers and References, Pointers and Arrays, Constructors and Copy Constructors, Nested and Local Inner Classes? * Why is Multiple Interface Inheritance seen to be beautiful but Multiple Implementation Inheritance considered evil? * When is Polymorphism Static or Dynamic, Bounded or Unbounded? Answers on these questions, and much more, are explained in this book, Cybernetics in C++. What makes this text so different and appealing in comparison to existing books on the market? * The Bulleted style, as opposed to Prose, produces results much faster, both in learning and reference * Rules of Thumb, and further expert Tips are given throughout in how to optimise your code * The Prospective Evils sections tell you what to avoid * The thorough coverage ensures you will be trained to expert level in each of Imperative, Procedural, Memory & Resource Management, Object Oriented and Generic Programming Cybernetics in C++ combines a theoretical overview and practical approach in one book, which should prove to be a useful reference for computer scientists, software programmers, engineers and students in this and related field |
