From Ada to C++

From Ada to C++

[Anis Ben Dekhil]

Hi there,
I'm fluent in Ada95 and I'm searching for a C++ book for experienced
programmers.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo is the best way to begin.

I don't know but you could look in your local library for the Ada 95 for
C++ programmers book. Although you would have to learn in reverse :-)

I liked Essential C++, by Stanley Lippman.  It's nice and short, to
get you programming sooner rather than later.  (Don't confuse this
with his C++ Primer, which weighs in at over 1000 pages.)

If you've used the Charles container library, than learning the C++
STL should be a snap.

Any particular reason why this is only under Reference books?

My preference. It isn't the easiest to learn from.
More of a language guide than a learning book.
The examples are not always the easiest to follow for a beginner(to C++) as
it uses a more technical approach.
Also as it covers the whole C++ language it doesn't give as in depth
examples
as some other books.

My favourite book for a beginner would be Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel.

Accelerated C++ by Koenig & Moo  is always highly recommended but
is suitable more for people who have programmed before

Hi Alex, ,Are you looking to Learn C++ based on what you know in Ada?  or
are you just looking to find an advancecd level C++ reference material?

I have a document in my hard drive that takes C++ programmers into the Ada
World, but nmot the other way around.  However I do have a (good collection)
of advanced C++ documents.  from beginner's to very advancecd.

if you're looking for something in particular, just let me know what you
need.  I wouldn't look for a "if I do it this way in Ada, how do I do it in
C++" kind of book, that would be "wishfull thinking" at best :-).

You can let me know either here on this group or just email me at the
address in the From Line of this email :-)

In an effort to NOT get flamed about C++ on an Ada group :-).  I also have
pdf files on Ada as well.

- Ada95  (Object Oriented Software in Ada 95 Second Edition)
- Redistribution in Distributed Ada.
- Ada Distilled  (Introduction to Ada for Experienced computer programmers).

Currently learning vhdl, just starting to have a look at Ada.
Intermediate level in c, c++, java and fortran.
Doing more embedded programming lately, assembly(pic and AVR, still learning
8051 asm) and c.

The winavr port of gcc(for Atmel AVR microprocessors - 8 bit)
is pretty good with c ,c++ and a group adding ada support.



Thanks.
