Synopsis:

For the introduction to Programming course (CS 1) using C++ offered in computer science, engineering, and mathematics departments.

Introduces key ideas behind computing with C++, and object-oriented programming in an intuitive and unintimidating way. Includes a comprehensive, on-line instructor's support package.

From the Back Cover:

I think it's well written and intelligently presented. It's a good introduction not only to C++ programming, but also to computer science as a whole.

- Larry Herman, UNITEC Institute of Technology

This book has a very large number of exercises, with a large variety of types. It is one the things that attracted me to the text. I am pleased with the quantity and quality of the exercises in this book.

- Cary Laxer, Computer Science, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
