Welcome to the companion Web site for the book C++ Programming: Visual QuickStart Guide, written by Larry Ullman and Andreas Signer and published by Peachpit Press in December 2005 (ISBN 0-321-35656-X).
Beside the handful of pages dedicated to this edition of this book, there’s plenty of other content on LarryUllman.com that you might be interested in. Use the “Post Categories” links above to browse by general topic.
You can download the code for the book using the link below. If you have any questions or problems, I’d recommend using the book’s corresponding support forum, where you’ll get the fastest answer.
Update on Dev-C++
It looks like Dev-C++, the IDE I recommend in this book for C programming on Windows, has not been developed in nearly five years now and the URL for Dev-C++ is no longer live. I’ve written about alternatives to Dev-C++, and where you can still get the old version of Dev-C++, if you want, in this blog post. My apologies for the inconvenience but things like this are well beyond my control.
Downloads
Every script in the text is available here to be downloaded. Some things you should know:
- Although these scripts are named or numbered as they are in the book, they do include any updates and changes as warranted by errors that were found after publication. Thus, if you are having problems with a particular script, download the most current version here or check the errata section.
- These scripts have been formatted with line breaks that will work on most systems running most text editors. If you have difficulty opening a script, try:
- adjusting the way your text editor treats text files
- using a different text editor, if possible
- posting a message to the online forum, asking for help

Hello i have got your book on C programming i have mac os x 10.6 x code along with other s but i have a hard time falling the examples do i have the wrong book is there a newer version thanks
Hello Blaine,
Thanks for the interest in the book (by the way, you’ve posted on the page for the C++ book, but you claim you have the C book, which is it?). I actually wrote the book using a Mac and there’s no reason why the examples in the book won’t work on a Mac (assuming you’ve installed the Developer Tools). If you’re having difficulty getting something to work, please post a message in the support forums and I’ll answer it there.
Thanks,
Larry
Hi,
Does this book requires readers to have prior knowledge in programming or C++ lanaguage?
Hello Kyla, Thanks for your interest in the book. No, it does not expect readers to have prior C++ or programming knowledge. It’s very much a beginner’s guide. Thanks, Larry
Hi,
I just finished reading your book on c++ and want to thank you for writing such a great book. I had no prior
knowledge of c or c++ but now i feel really confident of writing a c++ program by myself.
Thanks.
Thank you very much. I’m glad you liked the book and it’s kind of you to say so.
hi,
I am a mechanical Engineer and I am in search of a some c++ resource which will help me doing some finite element programming in c++. I am facing many difficulties in reading mesh files and many other things related to that. Can you suggest me any book or website which will have some information about it
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, I don’t know of anything offhand for this particular topic.
