That's the approach offered by Accelerated C + +, a text that delves into more advanced C + + features like templates and Standard Template Library (STL) collection classes early on. This book arguably can get an early motivated programmer to C + + faster than other available tutorials. What separates the title from the rest of the pack is that it jumps right in with samples that take advantage of the Standard C + + today - from streams to built-in container classes, such as vectors and linked lists. (Although the ship at 350 slim pages, Accelerated C + + is packed with samples, tips, and example problems; 10 per chapter. About) After a tour of basic C + +, this book is to see more advanced C + + features, such as templates, including built-in support for containers. Then cover the basics of class design, which includes good coverage of operator overloading and inheritance. With innovative approaches to teaching the language, Accelerated C + + will challenge readers in the right way Dragan. - Richard Topics covered: Introduction to C + + Console I / O with stream classes Basic string handling and control flow statement Loop Array Using functions and methods Using the Standard Template Library (STL) containers (vectors, linked lists, and maps) iterators Sorting and generic functions Basic class design and an array of File Pointer I / O Memory-management techniques, including static and dynamic memory allocated Adding stream support to custom classes Conversion operator operator overloading function Heritage's Handling Polymorphism and virtual functions idioms for classes, including reference counting Quick reference to C + + language
