Murach's top authors have finally tackled C++ programming, rethinking the whole approach. So this book takes advantage of the modern techniques to make it easier to learn C++ than ever before. It's organized in a logical way that gets you off to a fast start with a practical subset of today's C++, and then builds out your coding and OOP skills to the professional level. With that foundation in place, it also covers older techniques so you'll be able to maintain the vast amount of legacy code that's out there, as well as work with embedded systems that don't support the newer techniques.
