The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Navigating C++ and Object-Oriented Design':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
The authors admit to an ambitious intention. They hope to provide a tutorial, reference, and guide to advanced topics, all in one book. This aim is far reaching, and may even be self-contradictory. The tutorial aspect is aided by a starting point in object- orientation. C++ is a computer language, like any other computer language, and therefore the vocabulary and syntax is not going to present a problem to any experienced programmer. Object-orientation, however, does seem to be a stumbling block to those (many) programmers who come from the linear, procedural tradition that has dominated programming up to the present. The introduction of object modeling technique, and object model notation, help lift the explanations out of the usual "a dog is an animal" style of non-clarification. Unfortunately, it introduces too many concepts too quickly, generally with only a single example of each. Thus the concepts involved remain difficult for the novice to extract. This book *could* be used as a tutorial. The reader would have to be pretty determined, and definitely follow along with a C++ compiler up onscreen for experimentation, but all the material *is* there. The major emphasis of the text is object-orientation, to the point that one could consider this a text on OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) that happened to use C++ examples. Much of the material is advanced. It would be difficult, however, to use the book as a reference. Chapters include the aforementioned introduction to object- orientation, C++ basics, C++ structure, classes, working with classes, overloading, class design, object storage management, template functions, template classes, inheritance, run-time type identification, exception handling, and multiple inheritance. Appendices look at the IOStream library, the Standard Template Library, and C++ operator precedence. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1998
