The Ultimate C/CPP How-To Guide
For those who want to know how to program in C or CPP, and actually need to achieve something yesterday : this is the book for you!
Written in an intelligent laypersons tone (none of that dumbing down), aimed at putting information to work now and not later, Just Enough C/C Programming gives you the tools you need to write small, practical programs.
Without feeding you into information overload!

Table of Contents
What's in the Book (what do I get?)
The following is extracted from the Tabel of Contents. There's actually more in the book, but the following is a representative sample...
Programming Primer
Assuming you don't know anything, this part of the book makes sure that you start on the same level as any other hobby, student, or beginning programmer : the basic principles behind any programming language.
C Program Structure
Delves into the way that you construct a program in C. Vital knowledge before you start trying to make any of the programs in the book!
Data Types and VariablesDescribes how you store information in C - in memory - and how you get that information back again. After all, that's all programming is : shifting bits of information around and playing with them.
Console IO
How to print things on the screen, and get stuff from the keyboard.
Decision Making
How to tell the computer what to do when you decide that it should do it.
Loops
Telling the computer to do something over and over until you don't want it to do it any more.
Standard Libraries
A collection of things that other programmers have created so that you don't need to reinvent the wheel with every program.
User Defined Functions
Things that you create that break your program up into pieces of named code.
File IO
How to read from, and write to, files.
Program Design in C and CPP
Best practices for designing your programs.
CPP in Practice
A practical short-cut guide to CPP, without any distracting fluff or discourse on why CPP is better than C...
CPP Standard Libraries
A look at the CPP libraries that help you achieve the results that you want.
Templates and the STL
Some advanced topics that lead to useful examples showing CPP in all it's glory.
And that's just a taster!
