Описание: Introduction
This book teaches you how to write programs in a the C++ programming language. However,
it does more than that. In the past few years, several major innovations in software development
have appeared on the scene. This book teaches C++ in the context of these new developments.
Let’s see what they are.
Programming Innovations
In the old days, 20 or so years ago, programmers starting a project would sit down almost
immediately and start writing code. However, as programming projects became large and more
complicated, it was found that this approach did not work very well. The problem was complexity.
Large programs are probably the most complicated entities ever created by humans. Because
of this complexity, programs are prone to error, and software errors can be expensive and even
life threatening (in air traffic control, for example). Three major innovations in programming
have been devised to cope with the problem of complexity. They are
• Object-oriented programming (OOP)
• The Unified Modeling Language (UML)
• Improved software development processes
This book teaches the C++ language with these developments in mind. You will not only learn
a computer language, but new ways of conceptualizing software development.
