This example-laden book/disk combination is a practical resource for communications professionals who are interested in the nuts and bolts of implementing data communications systems using object-oriented design in C++. The author illustrates such fundamental data communications concepts as layering, flow control, sliding window protocols, and error detection and recovery.
About The Book: Bruno Preiss presents readers with a modern, object-oriented perspective for looking at data structures and algorithms, clearly showing how to use polymorphism and inheritance, and including fragments from working and tested programs. The book uses a single class hierarchy as a framework to present all of the data structures. This framework clearly shows the relationships between data structures and illustrates how polymorphism and inheritance can be used effectively.
"It is a practical book with emphasis on real problems the programmers encounter daily." --Dr.Tim H. Lin, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona "My overall impressions of this book are excellent. This book emphasizes the three areas I want: advanced C++, data structures and the STL and is much stronger in these areas than other competing books." --Al Verbanec, Pennsylvania State University Think, Then Code When it comes to writing code, preparation is crucial to success. Before you can begin writing successful code, you need to first work through your options and analyze the expected performance of your design. That's why Elliot Koffman and Paul Wolfgang's Objects, Abstraction, Data Structures, and Design: Using C++ encourages you to Think, Then Code, to help you make good decisions in those critical first steps in the software design process. The text helps you thoroughly understand basic data structures and algorithms, as well as essential design skills and principles. Approximately 20 case studies show you how to apply those skills and principles to real-world problems. Along the way, you'll gain an understanding of why different data structures are needed, the applications they are suited for, and the advantages and disadvantages of their possible implementations. Key Features * Object-oriented approach. * Data structures are presented in the context of software design principles. * 20 case studies reinforce good programming practice. * Problem-solving methodology used throughout... "Think, then code!" * Emphasis on the C++ Standard Library. * Effective pedagogy.
Create sound software designs with data structures that use modern object-oriented design patterns! Author Bruno Preiss presents the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms from a modern, object-oriented perspective. The text promotes object-oriented design using Java and illustrates the use of the latest object-oriented design patterns. Virtually all the data structures are discussed in the context of a single class hierarchy. This framework clearly shows the relationships between data structures and illustrates how polymorphism and inheritance can be used effectively. Key Features of the Text * All data structures are presented using a common framework. This shows the relationship between the data structures and how they are implemented. * Object-oriented design patterns are used to demonstrate how a good design fits together and transcends the problem at hand. * A single Java software design is used throughout the text to provide a better understanding of the operation of complicated data structures. * Just-in-time presentation of mathematical analysis techniques introduces students to mathematical concepts as needed.

This compact book presents a clear and thorough introduction to the object-oriented paradigm using the C++ language. It introduces the readers to various C++ features that support object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts. In an easy-to-comprehend format, the text teaches how to start and compile a C++ program and discusses the use of C++ in OOP. The book covers the full range of object-oriented topics, from the fundamental features through classes, inheritance, polymorphism, template, exception handling and standard template library. KEY FEATURES • Includes several pictorial descriptions of the concepts to facilitate better understanding. • Offers numerous class-tested programs and examples to show the practical application of theory. • Provides a summary at the end of each chapter to help students in revising all key facts. The book is designed for use as a text by undergraduate students of engineering, undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer applications, and postgraduate students of management.
This text is an introduction to the complex world of the OOP with C++. It helps you understand the principles and acquire the practical skills of programming using the C++ programming language. Our aim is for you to gain sufficient knowledge and experience to perform simple useful programming tasks using the best up-to-date techniques and so we hope for it to be the easiest book from which you can learn the basics of real-world programming. Our fundamental assumption is that you wish to write programs for the use of others; hence, providing a decent level of system quality to achieve a level of professionalism becomes necessary. Consequently, the topics here dealt with is what one shall need in order to get started with real-world programming, and not just what is easy to teach and learn. Rest assured, there shall not be any wastage of ones time with material of marginal practical importance. If an idea is explained here, chances are, its because one is likely to come in need of it. This book emphatically focuses on the syntax of C++. Understanding the fundamental ideas, principles, and techniques is the essence of a good programmer. Only a well-designed code stands any chance of becoming part of a correct, reliable, and maintainable system. Through this book, we hope that you will see the absolute necessity of understanding OOP with C++.
