C++ is one of the most popular programming languages used in the scientific programming area. So I’ve decided to have a go learning it.

I’ve been recommended to start with this book called Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo (Published in 2000 by Addison Wesley). The book is very compacted (~300 pages) and is said to be suitable for beginner. The tag line is “Practical Programming by Example” – teaching only the bits and pieces that are required to solve most of the problems.

The book contains 17 chapters. At the end of each chapter is a list of problems to solve. As part of my learning I shall have a go solving these and post my solutions and feedback via posts.

It’s just learning.
