This new edition of C++ Primer, a favorite choice for a first C++ book, has been greatly improved with the latest and greatest on C++, stressing the built-in language features of the C++ Standard Library. For this new version–weighing in at a massive 1,237 pages–Stanley Lippman, a well-known C++ expert, teams up with Josée Lajoie, who has helped define the C++ international language standard. The new material is excellent for programmers who want to get the most out of new and advanced features in the language.
The authors still introduce the basics of C++, including data types and pointers, but quickly move on to stress how to get the most out of the built-in features of ISO-standard C++. Throughout this book built-in support for the C++ Standard Library, such as container classes like vectors and maps, and other standard features, such as the string class, are integrated into a tried-and- proven basic-language tutorial.Downlad Here
This book is all about how to take data from disparate sources on the Web and combine that data to make new and innovative applications (affectionately called mashups). The Internet is at an inflection point, and all across the Web, more and more sites are exposing their data through Web services and eXtensible Markup Language (XML).
This is great news, because it means you as the developer can now build much more sophisticated applications that previously either would not have been possible, or would have required hundreds of developers to create. This book shows you how to take advantage of these data sources, and combine them to form new and never-before imagined applications.
This book is aimed at programmers. Not just server-side gals or user interface guys, I’m talking about the soup-to-nuts programmer. As you’ll see, between messaging, presentation, server-side scripting, and so on, there are a lot of moving parts with any given mashup. Some basic understanding of Web and server technologies is expected. If you’re up to speed on XML, Web services, Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language (DHTML), JavaScript, and ASP.NET, then you should have no problems. If not, don’t worry. Everything in the book is explained in detail, and because source code is supplied, you should be able to leverage this text regardless of your experience level.
