Using your existing knowledge of Fortran, C++ for Fortran Programmers gets you up and running with C++ quickly. By showing how individual elements of a Fortran program compare and translate into C++,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I wite this to balance the one review that was so negative and unfair. Why - the book is not a book on FORTRAN. It is a book on learning C++ and is one of three in this series which includes C++ for Pascal Programmers and C++ for C Programmers. These other two books get between 3 and 5 stars. What you get here is roughly the same material and some indication for those programmers who start with a FORTRAN background how corresponding C++ features work. If the lack of FORTRAN expertise bugs you, but you still desire a good book to migrate to C++ let me suggest Object-Oriented Programming Using C++:2nd edition.
