Full Description
Learn C++ the quick, easy, and "lazy" way. This book is an introductory programming text that uses humor and fun to make you actually willing to read, and eager to do the projects -- with the popular C++ language.C++ for Lazy Programmers is a genuinely fun learning experience that will show you how to create programs in the C++ language. This book helps you learn the C++ language with a unique method that goes beyond syntax and how-to manuals and helps you understand how to be a productive programmer. It provides detailed help with both the Visual Studio and g++ compilers plus their debuggers, and includes the latest version of the language, C++17, too. Along the way you'll work through a number of labs: projects intended to stretch your abilities, test your new skills, and build confidence. You'll go beyond the basics of the language and learn how build a fun C++ arcade game project. After reading and using this book, you'll be ready for your first real-world C++ application or game project on your own. What You Will LearnProgram for the first time in C++ in a fun, quick and easy mannerDiscover the SDL graphics and gaming libraryWork with SSDL, the Simple SDLwrapper libraryUse the most common C++ compilers: Visual Studio, and g++ (with Unix or MinGW)Practice "anti-bugging" for easy fixes to common problems Work with the debuggerAcquire examples-driven concepts and ideas Build a C++-based arcade game application Apply built-in Standard Template Library (STL) functions and classes for easy and efficient programmingDip your toe in C, C++'s ancestor, still extensively used in industryUse new C++11/14/17 features including lambda functions, constexpr, and smart pointersWho This Book Is ForThose who are new to C++, either as a guide for self-learners or as an accessible textbook for students in college-level courses.
Contents
The text is around 120,000 words long. Most chapters take one week each to cover in a standard (3- or 4-hour) college class. It covers two semesters, with a few extra chapters at the end for those wanting to go further.Chapter 1-13 are for semester one, covering variables, constants, types including enumeration types, control structures, functions, standard I/O, programming style, algorithm development, and the debugger. The climax of the sequence is Chapter 12, Building Your Own Arcade Game. As it stands now, all but Chapter 13 use a graphics library for whiz-bang.Chapter 14-23 are for the second semester, covering character arrays, pointers and dynamic memory, classes, inheritance, templates including the Standard Template Library, exceptions, virtual functions, and elementary data structures (strings, stacks, queues, vectors, and lists). The climax of this sequence is the construction of linked lists. Only Chapter 21 uses graphics -- the rest use standard console I/O, which is essential before going on to subsequent classes in the major.Chapters 24-29 are optional extras: namespaces, construction of libraries, history of C++, bit twiddling, sstream, shared_ptr, the C language, and other topics.Appendices cover setting up the graphics library on your machine, escape sequences, keywords, standard libraries, g++ debugger commands, and graphics-library functions.Introduction. 1-11 Getting started. 1-91.1 A simple program.. 1-91.2 Creating an SSDL project 1-121.3 Shapes, and the functions that draw them.. 1-271.4 consts and colors. 1-351.5 Text 1-37 First week.Prominent examples from this chapter: a drawing of a bug's head; a neatly printed poem.2 Images and sound. 2-432.1 Images, and changing window characteristics. 2-432.2 Multiple images together 2-482.3 Sound. 2-51Second week.Example: a slide show (Your yard gnome's travel pics).3 Math: types, operations, consts, and math functions. 3-553.1 Variables, constants, enums as constants. 3-553.2 Math operators. 3-573.3 Mathematical functions. 3-61Third week.Examples: diver on a diving board; a 5-pointed star.4 Mouse, and if. 4-674.1 Mouse functions, and variables associated. 4-674.2 if.. 4-694.3 Boolean variables. 4-734.4 Where Waldo is: using mouse input 4-75Fourth week.Example: Where's Waldo?
