Intelligentedu Free Computer and I.T. Books

Here is a Free Online Programming Book, named Software Design Using C++, made available by the Computer and Information Science Department of St. Vincent College. This online C++ programming book covers the learning materials for three complete computer science courses. Many C++ topics are covered, including intermediate and advanced topics. 

The C++ code examples were tested with Microsoft's Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and also (in most cases) with both the Visual C++ .NET 2003 compiler and the g++ compiler under Linux. Most should also work with Visual C++ .NET 2005 as well as other compilers. Some of the C++ code examples need to be run in the .NET environment.
