Sinopsis

C++ is a flexible, powerful programming language with hundreds of thousands of applications. However, the knowledge of how to take advantage of its full potential comes only with time and experience. That’s where this book comes in. Think of it as a “cookbook” for solving your programming problems, much as The Joy of Cooking is a guide to solving your dinner dilemmas.

C++ Timesaving Techniques For Dummies is a book for the beginning-toadvanced C++ programmer who needs immediate answers to the problems that crop up in the professional software-development world. I assume that you have prior programming experience, as well as experience specifically with the C++ programming language. “Fluff” — like discussions of looping structures or defining variables, or the basics of compiling applications — is kept to a minimum here. Instead, I offer quick, step-by-step instructions for solving specific problems in C++. Each technique includes example code — which you are welcome to use

in your own applications, or modify as you see fit. This is literally a case of “steal this code, please.” C++ is a language that lends itself well to component-based design and implementation. This means that you can take a piece from here and a piece from there to implement the solution that you have in mind.

C++ Timesaving Techniques For Dummies is not an operating-systemspecific (or even compiler-specific) book. The techniques and code that you find here should work on all compilers that support the standard C++ language, and on all operating systems for which a standard compiler exists. This book is intended to be as useful to the Unix programmer as to the Microsoft Windows programmer, and just as useful for programming with X-windows as it is for .Net.
