作品紹介・あらすじ

An Introduction to Programming by the Inventor of C++ Preparation for Programming in the Real World The book assumes that you aim eventually to write non-trivial programs, whether for work in software development or in some other technical field. Focus on Fundamental Concepts and Techniques The book explains fundamental concepts and techniques in greater depth than traditional introductions. This approach will give you a solid foundation for writing useful, correct, maintainable, and efficient code. Programming with Today's C++ The book is an introduction to programming in general, including object-oriented programming and generic programming. It is also a solid introduction to the C++ programming language, one of the most widely used languages for real-world software. The book presents modern C++ programming techniques from the start, introducing the C++ standard library to simplify programming tasks. For Beginners-And Anyone Who Wants to Learn Something New The book is primarily designed for people who have never programmed before, and it has been tested with more than 1,000 first-year university students.
However, practitioners and advanced students will gain new insight and guidance by seeing how a recognized master approaches the elements of his art. Provides a Broad View The first half of the book covers a wide range of essential concepts, design and programming techniques, language features, and libraries. Those will enable you to write programs involving input, output, computation, and simple graphics. The second half explores more specialized topics, such as text processing and testing, and provides abundant reference material. Source code and support supplements are available from the author's website.

[兎さんの感想 · 2010年6月7日]

コンピュータプログラムとはなんぞやといった事からC++を作ったBjarne先生が書いた教科書。

プログラミングについてもCUIの入出力やアルゴリズムからGUIの手解きまで解説され、加えて歴史的な話やエラーに対する姿勢についても学べます。所々にBjarne先生の素敵なユーモアがあり、それも楽しめます＾＾；

ちなみに、"Using C++"と題された通り、プログラミングは冒頭からC++で始まり、冒頭でメモリの解説などを終えプログラミングに入るとすぐにstd::vectorやstd::stringを当然の様に使っていて寧ろ入門者にはとても解りやすいC++本だと思います。

高度な、妙義にも見えるマクロやテンプレートを駆使した応用テクニックの解説はされていないけれど、それを学び、扱うに至るステップとしては必要なすべてが網羅されていると思います。

[p.572] More philosophically, I am among the large group of computer professionals who are of the opinion that if you lack a basic and practical understanding of how a program maps onto a computer's memory and operations, you will have problems getting a solid grasp of higher-level topics, such as data structures, algorithms, and operating systems.
