Summary

TheSimplyseries combines the DEITELreg; signature LIVE-CODE Approach with a new APPLICATION-DRIVEN methodology, in which readers build practical, real-world applications that incorporate C++ programming fundamentals. Readers build and execute complete applications from start to finish while learning the basics of programming from the ground up.Offers a full-color presentation, including syntax coloring, code highlighting, callouts and extensive comments. Features ten additional multiple-choice questions at the end of every tutorial, plus "What does this code do?" and "What's wrong with this code?" exercises, and four programming exercises focused on real-world applications, including a "Programming Challenge." Provides icon-based tips, including Good Programming Practices, Software Design Tips, Common Programming Errors, GUI Design Tips and Error-Prevention Tips. Includes a comprehensive Glossary and full Index at the end of the book. Provides a CD-ROM with every copy of the book that includes: (subject to change) Software including Microsoft Visual C++reg; .NET; Internet & Web resources; Source code for all the book's examples.A valuable reference for programmers or anyone who would like to learn the C++ programming language.
