A complete textbook and reference for engineers to learn the fundamentals of computer programming with modern C++ Introduction to Programming with C++ for Engineers is an original presentation teaching the fundamentals of computer programming and modern C++ to engineers and engineering students. Professor Cyganek, a highly regarded expert in his field, walks users through basics of data structures and algorithms with the help of a core subset of C++ and the Standard Library, progressing to the object-oriented domain and advanced C++ features, computer arithmetic, memory management and essentials of parallel programming, showing with real world examples how to complete tasks. He also guides users through the software development process, good programming practices, not shunning from explaining low-level features and the programming tools. Being a textbook, with the summarizing tables and diagrams the book becomes a highly useful reference for C++ programmers at all levels. Introduction to Programming with C++ for Engineers teaches how to program by: Guiding users from simple techniques with modern C++ and the Standard Library, to more advanced object-oriented design methods and language features Providing meaningful examples that facilitate understanding of the programming techniques and the C++ language constructions Fostering good programming practices which create better professional programmers Minimizing text descriptions, opting instead for comprehensive figures, tables, diagrams, and other explanatory material Granting access to a complementary website that contains example code and useful links to resources that further improve the reader’s coding ability Including test and exam question for the reader’s review at the end of each chapter Engineering students, students of other sciences who rely on computer programming, and professionals in various fields will find this book invaluable when learning to program with C++. "Increasingly, students of subjects other than Computer Science need to learn computer science basics. In this respect, students of Electronics, Telecommunication, Automatics, Robotics, etc. need to be well prepared to program low-level microprocessor platforms, to know programming concepts of simple and advanced operating systems (e.g. uC/OS, FreeRTOS and Linux), be well prepared for parallel computations, as well as for programming of embedded systems, device drivers, programmable logic devices (FPGA) and graphic cards, to name a few. All of these heavily rely on C/C++. Since the majority of the operating systems and system components are still expressed in pure C, EE students need to be able to understand C, at the same time being able to write new code in the modern object-oriented fashion provided by C++, however. Nevertheless, separately learning both languages as well as basics of data structures and algorithms would require too much time whereas the usual time allowance for these is one or two semesters only. This book is based on the author's lectures on Introduction to Computer Science, Methods and Techniques of Programming, and Operating Systems and Object-Oriented Programming Languages, given for undergraduate and graduate students of Electronics, Electronics and Telecommunication, as well as Acoustic Engineering in the Department of Electronics, AGH University of Science and Technology, over the last 20 years"-- Provided by publisher
