C++ is an amazingly versatile and powerful programming language combining traditional procedural style coding (ie the way you program in C, Fortran or Basic) with the more modern object orientated approach. Finally C++ supports what is known as generic programming – yet another way of doing things. If you don’t know what these three ... Read the complete review
