Synopsis
C++ Programming Fundamentals teaches beginners the basics of C++ programming without assuming previous experience in any other language. Useful and relevant examples, such as game programming, club membership organization, grade tracking, and GPA calculation, make learning both fun and practical. Each chapter contains at least one complete, fully functional example program, and several include additional smaller examples. The last three chapters are devoted to programming with Microsoft Visual C++, the most commonly used version of C++. The companion CD-ROM includes all the source code for the projects in the book, and additional examples not covered in the book.
