Summary

Appropriate for intermediate level courses in C++ that assume a background in C. Learn about the C++ ANSI standard from C++ expert and ANSI standard committee member Bruce Eckel. Assuming a basic grasp of C, Eckel guides students from understanding C to actually thinking in C++, so that they eventually write code in a total C++ mindset. His goal is to teach students the language so well that it becomes their expressive medium of choice.
