This book is designed to help you teach yourself how to program with C++. Just as you

can learn to walk one step at a time, you can learn to program in C++ one hour at a time.

Each lesson in this book has been designed so that you can read the entire lesson in just

an hour a day. It lays emphasis on the practical usage of the language, and helps you get

up-to-speed with concepts that are most important in writing C++ applications for realworld

usage.

By focusing for just an hour a day at a time, you’ll learn about such fundamentals as

managing input and output, loops and arrays, object-oriented programming, templates,

using the standard template library, and creating C++ applications—all in well-structured

and easy-to-follow lessons. Lessons provide sample listings—complete with sample output

and an analysis of the code—to illustrate the topics of the day.
