In this book, we will step through the various parts of C++ programming in a very systematic way. Many of the concepts you will learn are essential programming concepts, simply applied using the C++ language. Along the way the book also strives to teach you ANSI-standard C++. However, occasionally the text does add-in commonly used techniques that are not part of the formal ANSI standard. These items will be noted when they appear. Finally, the book gives you a peek at Visual C++ programming. This is done because Microsoft Windows programming is just so common, it would be a serious omission if the text did not introduce you to this topic. Essentially what this book proposes to do is to teach you the fundamentals of computer programming, via the C++ programming language.
