Object-Oriented Programming in C++ (4th Edition)

object oriented programming

Object-Oriented Programming in C++ begins with the basic principles of the C++ programming language and systematically introduces increasingly advanced topics while illustrating the OOP methodology. While the structure of this book is similar to that of the previous edition, each chapter reflects the latest ANSI C++ standard and the examples have been thoroughly revised to reflect current practices and standards.
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which may contain data, in the form of fields, often known as attributes; and code, in the form of procedures, often known as methods. A feature of objects is that an object's procedures can access and often modify the data fields of the object with which they are associated (objects have a notion of "this" or "self"). In OOP, computer programs are designed by making them out of objects that interact with one another. There is significant diversity of OOP languages, but the most popular ones are class-based, meaning that objects are instances of classes, which typically also determine their type.

Beginning OpenGL Game Programming, Second Edition

What is OpenGL ?

Open Graphics Library (OpenGL) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics. The API is typically used to interact with a graphics processing unit (GPU), to achieve hardware-accelerated rendering. Silicon Graphics Inc., (SGI) started developing OpenGL in 1991 and released it in January 1992;[6] applications use it extensively in the fields of computer-aided design (CAD), virtual reality, scientific visualization, information visualization, flight simulation, and video games. OpenGL is managed by the non-profit technology consortium Khronos Group.

Introduction to Algorithms

Book Description

some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. The book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor.The first edition became a widely used text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals. The second edition featured new chapters on the role of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linear programming. The third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, substantial additions to the chapter on recurrence (now called “Divide-and-Conquer”), and an appendix on matrices. It features improved treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. Many new exercises and problems have been added for this edition. As of the third edition, this textbook is published exclusively by the MIT Press.

What you will learn

First of all, this is the quintessential book on algorithms. If you want to learn, this is the book to get. The information in the book is awesome and it can make an excellent reference.
Students will need a very strong mathematical background and a strong arm to even think about picking up this book because the it is heavy (both physically and metaphorically). Mastery of discrete math is a must, graph theory, programming, and, combinatorics will also help.
With that said, this book falls short in one MAJOR area, explanations. Too often explanations are left out and left as exercises and there are no solutions to the exercises! Or details are replaced by ambiguous statements such as of "cleary, this works", or "it is easy to see that this ...". I get the concept of learning by doing, really I do, but there should be some kind of solutions so the student can CHECK his/her understanding of the material and sometimes the exercises are not about advanced aspects of a concept, sometimes it is the core material. Even if the solution manual only contained a simple answer without the work. Not only would it help tremendously but the purpose of doing the exercises would be preserved; that is the student getting his/her "hands dirty" and working out a problem.

I found this to be a great book for those with prior programming experience in othe languages, but I'm not certain what the book's core audience is. The early chapters are a bit too simplistic for an experienced developer while the latter chapters might be overwhelming for someone without prior experience. At any rate, if you do have prior experience and work through the early chapters you will find this book valuable.

Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity 3D Beginner’s Guide

This book is for

for the absolute beginner to any concept of programming, writing a script can appear to be an impossible hurdle to overcome. The truth is, there are only three simple concepts to understand: 1) having some type of information; 2) using the information; and 3) communicating the information. Each of these concepts is very simple and extremely important. These three concepts are combined to access the feature set provided by Unity. The beauty of this book is that it assumes absolutely no knowledge of coding at all. Starting from very first principles it will end up giving you an excellent grounding in the writing of C# code and scripts.

Overview

You've actually been creating scripts in your mind your whole life, you just didn't realize it. Apply this logical ability to write Unity C# scripts
Learn how to use the two primary building blocks for writing scripts: the variable and the method. They're not mysterious or intimidating, just a simple form of substitution Learn about GameObjects and Component objects as well as the vital communication between these objects using Dot Syntax. It's easy, just like addressing a postal letter Stay logically organized by utilizing a State Machine for your code. Use the simple concept of a State to control your Unity project. You will definitely save time by knowing where your code is located With your new knowledge of coding, you will be able to look at Unity's Scripting Reference code examples with confidence

In Detail

For the absolute beginner to any concept of programming, writing a script can appear to be an impossible hurdle to overcome. The truth is, there are only three simple concepts to understand:

1. having some type of information;
2. using the information;
3. communicating the information. Each of these concepts is very simple and extremely important. These three concepts are combined to access the feature set provided by Unity.

"Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity 3D" assumes that you know nothing about programming concepts. First you will learn the absolute basics of programming using everyday examples that you already know. As you progress through the book, you will find that C# is not a foreign language after all, because you already know the words. With a few keywords and using substitution, before you know it, you'll be thinking in code.
The book starts by explaining in simple terms the three concepts you need for writing C# code and scripts: 1) variables to hold information; 2) methods (functions) to use the information; and 3) Dot Syntax to communicate the information where it's needed. The book builds on these concepts to open up the world of C# coding and Unity scripting. You will use this new power to access the features provided in Unity's Scripting Reference.
The first half of this book is devoted to the code writing beginner. The concepts of variables, methods, Dot Syntax, and decision processing are fully explained. Since C# is an actual programming language, we take advantage of this to develop a State Machine to help control and organize each phase of a Unity project. Once the basic programming concepts are established and we have some State Machine organization, the features and power of Unity are accessed using the Scripting Reference.

The goal of "Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity 3D" is to teach to you how to use the Unity Scripting Reference

.

What you will learn from this book

• Understand what a variable is and how it works
• Learn about methods and functions is and how they are used to manipulate information
• Learn the concept of an object, a component of a GameObject, and the class they come from
• Learn about communication between objects using Dot Syntax
• Understand how to make decisions in code
• Learn how to use a State Machine to control and organize a Unity project
• Master the Scripting Reference to bring GameObjects to life
• Learn how to use the Unity Physics engine for moving and detecting GameObject collisions and triggers

Microsoft Visual C# 2013 Step by Step

What is C-sharp (C#)

C# is designed to be a platform-independent language in the tradition of Java (although it is implemented primarily on Windows). It's syntax is similar to C and C++ syntax, and C# is designed to be an object-oriented language. There are, for the most part, minor variations in syntax between C++ and C#. Main has no return type, there are no semicolons after class names, there are some (to C++ programmers) strange decisions regarding capitalization - such as the capitalization of Main. Other a few differences, the syntax is often the same. This decision is reasonable, in light of the fact that C syntax has been used with several other languages - notably Java.
Similar to Java, C# does not support multiple inheritance; instead it provides Java's solution: interfaces. Interfaces implemented by a class specify certain functions that the class is guaranteed to implement. Interfaces avoid the messy dangers of multiple inheritance while maintaining the ability to let several classes implement the same set of methods.

New Features in the Next C++ Standard

We discuss four new language features that will be part of the next C++ standard and are already implemented by some of today’s C++ compilers. These include: Initializer Lists for User-Defined Types. These enable objects of your own types to be initialized using the same syntax as built-in arrays. Range-Based for Statement. A version of the for statement that iterates over all the elements of an array or container (such as an object of the vector class). Lambda Expressions. These enable you to create anonymous functions that can be passed to other functions as arguments. Concepts. These enable template programmers to specify the requirements for data types that will be used with a particular template. Compilers can then pro- vide more meaningful error messages when data types do not meet a template’s requirements.
