Would anybody care to recommend online C++ resources for a long time C
and Python user? (I'm also familiar with Smalltalk, Scheme, FORTRAN,
bash, Javascript, and a variety of assembly languages.)
I have a C++ library to which I need to add a couple minor
wrappers/extensions. I've already done the same for the C version of
the library. Writing test suites for C libraries using Python/ctypes
is pretty cool. :)
After googling a bit, I found several recommendations for the book
"Thinking in C++" by Bruce Eckel. I've skimmed through it, and it's
_way_ too long-winded. It takes him 200+ pages before he gets to data
encapsulation and 600+ pages before he introduces inheritence. The
writing is also a bit too condesending for my taste:
You literally take the form of the existing class and add code to
it, without modifying the existing class. This magical act is
called _inheritance_, and most of the work is done by the compiler.
Magical act?
Seriously?
