C++ by Example

Every day, more and more people learn and use the C++ programming Language. I have taught C to thousands of students in my life. I see many of those students now moving to C++ in their school work or career. The C++ language is becoming an industry-accepted standard programming language, using the solid foundation of C to gain a foothold. C++ is simply a better C than C. C++ By Example is one of several books in Que抯 new line of By Example series. The philosophy of these books is simple: The best way to teach computer programming concepts is with multiple examples. Command descriptions, format syntax, and language references are not enough to teach a newcomer a programming language. Only by looking at numerous examples and by running sample programs can programming students get more than just a 揻eel?for the language.
