The C++ Annotations offer an extensive tutorial about the C++ programming
language. It can be used as a textbook for C/C++ programming courses.
This document is intended for knowledgeable users of C (or any other language
using a C-like grammar, like Perl or Java) who would like to know more about,
or make the transition to, C++. This document is the main textbook for
Frank's C++ programming courses, which are yearly organized at the University
of Groningen, the Netherlands.
The C++ Annotations do not cover all aspects of C++, though. In particular,
C++'s basic grammar, which is, for all practical purposes, equal to C's
grammar, is not covered. For this part of the C++ language, the reader should
consult other texts, like a book covering the C programming language.
To create the various document formats from the C++ Annotations' sources,
either descend into the 'annotations' directory, or unpack a created archive, cd
into its top-level directory and follow the instructions provided in the
INSTALL file found there.
Alternatively, various binary ready-to-install packages of the C++ Annotations
are available in verious Linux distributions, in particular Debian. See, e.g.,
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=c%2B%2B-annotations&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
