MFC Programmer's SourceBook : Thinking in C++
Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++, 2nd Ed Contents | Prev | Next

Prerequisites

In the first edition of this book, I decided to assume that someone else had taught you C and that you have at least a reading level of comfort with it. My primary focus was on simplifying what I found difficult – the C++ language. In this edition I have added a chapter that is a very rapid introduction to C, assuming that you have some kind of programming experience already. In addition, just as you learn many new words intuitively by seeing them in context in a novel, it’s possible to learn a great deal about C from the context in which it is used in the rest of the book.

Thinking in C

For those of you who need a gentler introduction to C than the chapter in this book, I have created with Chuck Allison a CD ROM called “Thinking in C: foundations for Java and C++” which will introduce you to the aspects of C that are necessary for you to move on to C++ or Java (leaving out the nasty bits that C programmers must deal with on a day-to-day basis but that the C++ and Java languages steer you away from). This CD can be ordered at http://www.BruceEckel.com. [Note: the CD will not be available until late Fall 98, at the earliest – watch the Web site for updates]
