Over the last decade C++ has become the most popular object oriented programming language. Its popularity is based on the wide acceptance of the C programming language, from which C++ has evolved. However C++ is not just a superset of the C, as most newcomers believe. Principles of object oriented design demand a completely different way of thinking compared to procedural C. In present-day large-scale programs, especially for interactive environments like Windows, object oriented design is simply a must.

On 824 pages, this book covers all most important aspects of the C++, starting with the basic structure of the simplest programs and built-in data types, through functions, user-defined types (classes) and their inheritance, to exception handling, namespaces and run-time type identification. The style of writing makes the subject understandable even for the readers not acquainted with any programming language. However, since the book covers almost all aspects of the language, the authors believe that it will be of interest even for C++ veterans. Especially so because it covers some components introduced to the language very recently, such as namespaces and run-time type identification.

A special quality to the book is added by the fact that (as the first book of the kind in Croatian language) it is consistent with the ANSI/ISO C++ Language Standard. The book is thus not limited to a specific compiler or a current generation of compilers. We believe that the book will be useful to many of those wanting to master C++.
