Is C++ a high-level or low-level language? It depends on how you use it! This tutorial
introduces programming techniques that raise the level of C++ programming by
freeing the programmer from administrative details, and by modeling the powerful
semantics of high-end object-oriented programming languages. These techniques form
C++-specific patterns called idioms, which remain an important component of the
contemporary pattern discipline. Many of the techniques are presented in pattern
form.
This tutorial goes beyond most introductory C++ texts with programming styles that
can expand the horizons of accomplished C++ programmers. Drawing from the book
Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms, the tutorial tackles difficult but
common problems faced by developers of C++ systems, both large and small.
This tutorial is for the C++ programmer with at least one year of experience in C++ or
another object-oriented programming language.
