The C++ Programming Language: Special Edition

Leser der vorherigen Ausgaben werden sehen, daß die neue Ausgabe ein völlig anderes Gesicht bekommen hat, um die neuen Funktionen der Sprache zu erfassen, vor allem die Laufzeit-Typerkennung, Namespaces und die Standardbibliothek. Gleichzeitig werden die Leser den leicht verständlichen Stil und die wertvollen Ratschläge wiedererkennen, die die vorigen Ausgaben zu einem Lesevergnügen gemacht haben.

Die größte Veränderung besteht wahrscheinlich in einem ausführlichen neuen Teil, gut 200 Seiten lang, der die Inhalte und das Design der C++-Standardbibliothek, der wichtigsten Funktion der C++-Spezifikation, behandelt. Der Autor hat zudem eine Vielzahl neuer Übungen hinzugefügt, zugleich aber auch viele der besseren Übungen aus den vorigen Ausgaben behalten.

Obwohl Die C++-Programmiersprache streng genommen kein Tutorial ist, kann jeder, der dabei ist, die Sprache zu lernen -- besonders diejenigen, die sich bereits mit C beschäftigt haben -- nur von dieser klaren Darstellung der C++-Elemente profitieren. Man kann gar nicht genug betonen, wie wichtig dieses Buch für jeden ist, der C++ ernsthaft benutzen möchte.

In this third edition of The C++ Programming Language, author Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, presents the full specification for the C++ language and standard library, a spec that will soon become the joint ISO/ANSI C++ standard.

Past readers will find that the new edition has changed a great deal and grown considerably to encompass new language features, particularly run-time type identification, namespaces, and the standard library. At the same time, readers will recognise the lucid style and sensible advice that made previous editions so readable and enjoyable. Probably the biggest change is a substantial new section, well over 200 pages in length, covering the contents and design of the C++ standard library, the most important new feature of the C++ specification. The author has also added a substantial number of new exercises while keeping many from previous editions that have retained their value.

While The C++ Programming Language is not a C++ tutorial, strictly speaking, anyone learning the language, especially those coming from C, will greatly benefit from the clear presentation of all its elements. It is impossible to overstate the importance of this book for anyone who is serious about using C++. --Jake Bond

Another major improvement is the section on 'advice' which can be found at the end of every chapter. This portion summarizes what the chapter was trying to teach, with pointers to the relevant part of the book.

As a tutorial for the beginner, I suggest you look elsewhere. The book is not easy to read, since the author tries to explain so much in so little space (if you can call 900 pages 'little').

You will probably read this book more than TWICE. First, to simply try out the language on your compiler (sit in front of your computer when you do). Second, to digest the material on designing using C++ (try doing this away from your computer). Third, to see if you missed out anything significant. You will.

This is a very thurough book about ANSI C++ from the creator. It is not for beginners to programming or C++, but is best used to fill in any holes in your knowledge. This IS the end all be all of ANSI C++ books. It's very 'math-bookey' and some of the sections are difficult to grasp, but if you want to be senior level C++, this will do it.


Amazing Book for Beginners   Juni 15, 2000

I had to review this book twice because in my last review I had only given the book 4 out of 5 stars, when really this book should be a 7. It is an amazing book for people who have never programmed before in their life. It seems to start really nice and simple and get more complex as you read on. I would recomend this book for people who would like to get into programming and people who would like a good solid beginners book. After reading this book it would be suitable to advance to 'C++ for Dummies' or a book along that line of difficulty. Once again, A great book for Beginners!
