Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days
- Computer languages have undergone dramatic evolution since the first electronic computers were built to assist in telemetry calculations during World War II. Early on, programmers worked with the most primitive computer instructions: machine language. These instructions were represented by long strings of ones and zeroes. Soon, assemblers were invented to map machine instructions to human-readable and -manageable mnemonics, such as ADD and MOV. In time, higher-level languages evolved, such as BASIC and COBOL. These languages let people work with something approximating words and sentences, such as Let I = 100. These instructions were translated back into machine language by interpreters and compilers. An interpreter translates a program as it reads it, turning the program instructions, or code, directly into actions. A compiler translates the code into an intermediary form. This step is called compiling, and produces an object file. The compiler then invokes a linker, which turns the object file into an executable program. Because interpreters read the code as it is written and execute the code on the spot, interpreters are easy for the programmer to work with. Compilers, however, introduce the extra steps of compiling and linking the code, which is inconvenient. Compilers produce a program that is very fast each time it is run. However, the time-consuming task of translating the source code into machine language has already been accomplished. Another advantage of many compiled languages like C++ is that you can distribute the executable program to people who don't have the compiler. With an interpretive language, you must have the language to run the program.

Optimizing C++

Author(s) : Steve Heller
Publication date : Aug 1998
ISBN : 0-13-977430-0
Pages : 416
Publisher : Prentice Hall PTR

- Optimizing C++ provides working programmers and those who intend to be working programmers with a practical, real-world approach to program optimization. Many of the optimization techniques presented are derived from my reading of academic journals that are, sadly, little known in the programming community. This book also draws on my nearly 30 years of experience as a programmer in diverse fields of application, during which I have become increasingly concerned about the amount of effort spent in reinventing optimization techniques rather than applying those already developed.

C++: A Dialog

C++: A Dialog, formerly published by Prentice-Hall, is a highly effective tutorial book on standard C++ that requires no prior knowledge of programming.

Note: you will need to download "Compiler" and "Turbo Debugger" separately. They are listed under the "Downloads" section.

If you have already seen this book, please let me know where you first heard about it, and where you purchased it.

If you haven't seen it yet, you might be interested in some other readers' reactions to this book as well as my previous C++ tutorial books, as C++: A Dialog is essentially a one volume version of those books, updated to the C++ standard.
