This book is a thorough rewrite of the first edition to reflect all the changes introduced in C++

by the finalization of the ANSI/ISO C++ Standard. The entire text present in the first edition

has been examined and rewritten, sometimes removing old examples, often changing existing

examples and adding new ones, and adding many new exercises. Significant rearrangement

and re-ordering of the material took place to reflect the availability of better tools and my

improved understanding of how people learn C++. A new chapter was added which is a rapid

introduction to the C concepts and basic C++ features for those who haven’t been exposed.

The CD ROM bound into the back of the book contains a seminar which is an even gentler

introduction to the C concepts necessary to understand C++ (or Java). It was created by

Chuck Allison for my company (MindView, Inc.) and it’s called “Thinking in C: Foundations

for Java and C++.” It introduces you to the aspects of C that are necessary for you to move on-This book is a thorough rewrite of the first edition to reflect all the changes introduced in C++
