What Bill's Students Are Saying The content is the best I've come across in years for computer based video training. —Ken M. I like the way you handle the training, and your reassuring voice is convincing me that this is something I can actually learn! —Lisa T. I really enjoy your Lynda lessons Bill. Thanks! —Brandon F. -- Fully updated for 2015, C++ Essential Training is available now on the lynda.com Online Training Library! My intention in this course is to give you everything you need to be able to write C++ code effectively. Topics include: Basic Syntax Operators Data Types Functions Objects and Classes Templates The Standard C Library The C++ Standard Template Library numword This is an exercise from the upcoming new version of my C++ Essential Training course for lynda.com. It's a C++ class that converts words to numbers, like this: 147 one hundred forty-seven I suggest you try to create your own solution before looking at mine. My C++ version is here . Code Clinic is a new course series at lynda.com exploring the same technical challenges through six different programming languages (C++, C#, Java, PHP, Python and Ruby). This represents a unique opportunity to examine, not just language-specific best practices, but the structured thinking and analysis skills needed to become a great programmer. I'm presenting the C++ version. Resources This course is designed to give you what you need to write C and C++ code effectively, but a video course can never provide a complete reference. Here are some good resources for your everyday programming needs (links go to Amazon ): The C Programming Language, 2nd Ed by Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie Concise and authoritative, this is the definitive book on C. Covers the original standard, "ANSI C" so it may seem a little out-of-date, but the language really hasn't changed that much and there is no better book on the subject. C++ Primer Plus, 6th Ed by Stephen Prata Yes, it's one of those ridiculous 1,200 page tech books, but it's the closest thing there is to a good C++ book. The C Standard Library by P.J. Plauger Considered a companion to The C Programming Language , a thorough reference to the ANSI standard library that supports C. The author has been involved in the standardization process for both C and C++. C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference, 2nd Ed by Nicolai M. Josuttis (2nd Ed covers C++11 — new May 2012) Documents the the STL. An excellent reference with good coverage of the STL algorithms. The C++ Standard Template Library by P.J. Plauger, Alexander Stepanov, Meng Lee, David R. Musser Excellent STL reference. Chapter-by chapter coverage of each component, with history and exercises. Thorough coverage of the entire STL, including algorithms. Consensus is mixed whether this is better than Josuttis. My view is this is a better reference, but Josuttis is more accessible for a novice. C Pocket Reference (O'Reilly) by Peter Prinz & Ulla Kirch-Prinz Perfect for quickly looking up syntax. I love the Pocket References. I have a bunch of them. I keep them on my desk at all times. C++ Pocket Reference (O'Reilly) by Kyle Loudon A bit out of date, but extremely useful and affordable. I love the Pocket References. I have a bunch of them. I keep them on my desk at all times. STL Pocket Reference (O'Reilly) by Ray Lischner A bit thin, but extremely useful and affordable. I love the Pocket References. I have a bunch of them. I keep them on my desk at all times. Further Study I'm a big fan of Scott Meyers' books. Following his advice will make you a better programmer. Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs (3rd Edition) (Addison-Wesley) by Scott Meyers The definitive book on C++ best practices. This is a must-have for any serious C++ programmer's library. More Effective C++: 35 New Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs (Addison-Wesley) by Scott Meyers More advanced best-practices. This is also extremely valuable, and deals more specifically with exceptions, namespaces, templates, and some newer langauge features. Effective STL: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of the Standard Template Library (Addison-Wesley) by Scott Meyers This book is essential if you want to get the full value from the STL.
