i wish to start programming with OOP, but i have no experience: can
anyone tell me what book should i buy to learn it?
I have a good knowledge of programming, but absolutely zero of OOP.
Also, working hard, how long do you think it may need to have a good
understanding of it, so i can start programming in that direction?
Thanks a lot.

Well, first of all, you'll only learn so much from a book. There are tons.
I'd check ratings on Amazon and start there.
But honestly, the only way most people learn good OOP techniques is by
working with people who are good. It doesn't even have to be in an office
type environment. Get involved in an OSS project and learn the code and try
to contribute. There's nothing better than having people who know their
stuff sharing their knowledge with you.
Learning from a book depends on the author really knowing his stuff and you
really understanding what he's saying. That's often hard to do without
guidance. That's just my $0.02
Being that you already have a "good knowledge of programming" - then you
would likely Andrew Troelsen book(s) helpful.

I'm surprised that, in 2007, someone with "a good knowledge of programming"
has zero knowledge of OOP!
I've been using OOP professionally for about 13 years - I would have thought
that anyone who been to school/college in that period would have learned
something.
facetiousness aside, as has already been mentioned, I use Amazon's terrific
review system.

How timely, I repeat my post from yesterday.
This book gets top marks from me: "Beginning C# Objects: From
Concepts
to Code" by Jacquie Barker and Grant Palmer. It is 3 years old now so
there is no C#2005 edition! So why am I recommending it? - because
it
is an excellent book. It is all about C# objects which will be the
difficult bit for you unless you've previously used an OO programming
language. They do go over the basic syntax (keywords, sequence,
selection and iteration) but most of the book dwells on C# objects
and
it is a great introduction to OOAD using UML via a small case study.
Most introductory C# books don't do OOAD very well (most just don't
cover it or they treat it in a derisory fashion) - which is why I am
recommending this book to you. http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=293
After reading it you don't stop there but it's brilliant place to
start. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I've been googling around for a while now an dhaven't been able to
find anything beyond SGI's C++ STL reference, which is a bit too terse
for my needs.
At home, I have a copy of the C++ Programmer's Reference (sorry, I
forget the details of the book now), and for work, I need a similar
online reference for the full STL and C/C++ library.
So, does anyone here know of (or use) a good complete reference other
than the SGI reference?

Hello. I'm looking for a good C++ reference book. I learned C++ a year

about syntax (using -> versus ".", etc.), using classes, C++ functions,

I need a reference book. Not a "begin from scratch" instruction book,
unless there is one that is also a good reference.
Also, does anyone know of any good standard...

Hi, I have a function declared as:
void foo(const std::string& s, std::ostream& verbose_output);
I want foo() to write a lot of data to the ostream if it's a valid stream.
If it's valid or not should depend on user input (command line arguments
actually). If the user decides he/she wants verbose output, I will pass
std::cout as the last argument when calling foo(). But what should I pass if
the user doesn't want any output? And how...

Just spent a happy 10 mins trying to understand a function I wrote sometime

Then remembered that arguments are passed by reference, by default.
Does the fact that this slowed me down indicate:
a) That I don't know enough
b) Passing arguments by ref is bad

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
