by Ivor Horton (Author)
Written in the style that has made Horton one of today's best selling authors, Ivor Horton's Beginning ANSI C++: The Complete Language, Third Edition, is comprehensive ground-up tutorial on the complete C++ language following the ANSI specification. No prior knowledge of any particular programming language is assumed and only an appreciation of elementary programming concepts - branching looping and the basic notions of how programs work - is required to use the book. All language elements are demonstrated with complete working code examples and exercises are included at the end of each chapter.
Special Note: The first edition of this book (which sold almost 50,000 copies) established itself as the best place to learn C++ for the programmer new to the language
