An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in C++: With Applications in Computer Graphics

By G. M. Seed

An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in C++ with applications in Computer Graphics introduces the reader to programming in C++ step by step from the simplest of C++ programs, through features such as classes and templates to namespaces. Emphasis is placed on developing a good programming technique and demonstrating when and how to use the more advanced features of C++ through the development of realistic programming tools and classes.This revised and extended 2nd edition includes: - the Standard Template Library (STL), a major addition to the ANSI C++ standard- full coverage of all the major topics of C++, such as Templates; exception handling; RTTI- practical tools developed for object-oriented computer graphics programmingAll code program files and exercises are ANSI C++ compatible and have been compiled on both Borland C++ v5.5 and GNU/Linux g++ v2.91 compilers, and are available from the author's web site: http: //www.hw.ac.uk/mecWWW/research/staff/gms.htm This description may be from another edition of this product.

Good book for scientific C++

Despite its title, this book makes a great introduction to C++ for scientists and engineers who routinely deal with advanced mathematics. Development of the matrix and vector classes are a highlight of the book. As noted in other reviews, the author can take a basic idea for a class and embellish it, adding features and alternative implementations as he goes. At first this is disconcerting, but for readers desiring an in-depth...
