"The Schemer's Guide to C++"

by Iain Ferguson

This book builds on the solid theoretical foundation provided by an increasing number of courses such as those based on "The Schemer's Guide" that introduce the principles of modern computer science via the Scheme language. From this basis it provides students with a fundamental, practical working knowledge of the programming language C++.

The author, Iain Ferguson, uses his experience as a full-time, commercial programming professional to lead students step by step from the elegant principles of high-level programming with which they are already familiar to the nitty-gritty of C++, but without ever losing sight of the computer science fundamentals that underlie good programming practice. As in "The Schemer's Guide", students quickly learn to write complete, non-trivial programs, including the design and implementation of a modern container class library. This unashamedly practical course is perfect for students and teachers who seek a clear, direct, fast track path to learning C++.
