C+ C++: Programming With Objects in C and C++

By Allen I. Holub

Book Overview

This book provides instruction for using C in an object-oriented fashion. The book covers the problems likely to arise in a C++ application, explains why C++ is inappropriate for some object-oriented applications, and shows how to do real object-oriented programming (based on a multitasking model) in a C or C++ environment.

Another Holub Masterpiece

Well, I see that all the other reviews were written in 2000 or before. Maybe no one will read this, but I'll do it anyway. I was one of Allen's students back in the 90's, and I have already reviewed one of his classroom texts, "The C Companion" (which see). That review details what it was like to be in one of Allen's classes, so I'll omit that here. This was another classroom text, and again there are no frills, no cutesy...

The best C and C++ book ever.

Unfortunately this book is out-of-print. I bought it about 10 years ago, as a beginner C programmer with an idea, let's study some code and start programming in C. Ooops. I couldn't understand a single line of code. But, a year later, after gaining some experience, I tried again and I improoved my programming style in few months dramatically, reading only the first, C-chapter. This is definitely not a begginers book. Author...

Excellent book for C programers wanting to learn C++

This was an extremely valuable book for me in learning C++. It will be very helpful for any proficient C programmer in making the transition to object-oriented programming in C++. The book is well written and well organized. Starting with a demonstration of how object-oriented programming can be done in C, Holub brings the reader though the transition to C++ very directly and neatly. The examples he uses are excellent, not...

A book that clears up a lot C++ syntax

This book covers details and insight information for a C or C++ programer to much better know C++. Except for chapter one- Object-Oriented Programming in C- I found most chapters are so valuable that you want to read over and over until you fully understand the points that you never think of before. At last, you'll be confident saying you've made a big step in knowing C++ in a systematic way
