- That's "Dewhurst", I think _____||||||||
-
- This is a pretty good introduction for someone who already knows C.
- It doesn't get big-time into object oriented programming, but it
- does do a good job of introducing the main new features of C++ and
- how to use them.
-
- On the other hand, it's by no means a technical reference, and the
- 1989 version doesn't say anything about newer features like templates
- and exception handling. (I don't know if there's a later editon or not.)
-
- >* C++ Programming lang , Stroustrup
-
- The new edition contains all the latest language features, including a
- fairly extensive language reference. I just got this one, and I'm only
- through the first few chapters, but it appears to be somewhat less well
- written than the Dewhurst and Stark book.
-
- I'm not familiar with any of the other texts on your list, though...
