<b>C++ Primer, Fourth Edition</b>

This book is a massive introduction to C++. It has been written with an awareness of modern C++ rather than the older versions that most other books use. It starts using the powerful C++ Library right from the start and does not waste time demanding that you learn older and largely superseded methods that traditional C++ imported from C. Good programming (multi-file, header sentinels, stub functions etc.) are in use from chapter 1. The authors cover object-based and procedural programming as well as pure OOP.
