Synopsis
For courses in C++ - Introduction to Programming.
The Simply series combines the DEITEL¨ signature LIVE-CODE Approach with a new APPLICATION-DRIVEN methodology, in which readers build practical, real-world applications that incorporate C++ programming fundamentals. Readers build and execute complete applications from start to finish while learning the basics of programming from the ground up. The abundant self- assessment exercises take the same approach―like having a text and lab manual in one.
