From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

This book covers the C++ programming language, its interactions with software design and real life use of the language. It is presented in a series of chapters as an introductory prior to advance courses but can also be used as a reference book. This is an open work; if you find any problems with terms or concepts you can help by contributing to it; your participation is needed and welcomed! You are also welcomed to state any preference, shortcomings, vision for the actual book content, structure or other conceptual matters; see this Wikibook's discussion page for the right forum for participating.
