Course Material

Books

	The recommended text book for this course Ira Pohl: C++ for C Programmers, 3.ed., Addison Wesley 1999 480 pages. Much of the material in chapters 2 and 3 is a review of C. The lectures are based on this book.
	Another (optional) relevant book is Bjarne Stroustrup: "The C++ Programming Language". , Addison Wesley 1997 900 pages. This is a reference book, not a tutorial!

There are literally hundreds of books on C/C++. When choosing a book it is important that the book has been updated to the new ANSI/ISO C++ standard and has a chapter about STL (The Standard Template Library). Most recent introductions to the C++ language run to a thousand pages or more. Considering 49423 being a 3 week course where practical programming should be the main activity (and not reading a 1200 pages book) I have found this 480 pages book the best. However, if you are a fast reader you may prefer a more wordy book like

Stephen Prata: C++ PRIMER PLUS, Mitchell Waite Signatures Series,
Waite Group Press, 1998. 1000 pages, but contains approximately 3 times as much text as "C++ for C Programmers". This is a good C++ tutorial used at many universities.

Program Examples

The program examples in the book "C++ for C programmers" is available from the books homepage (see above) and (when the course is running) from here:
