About this title

Synopsis

The hallmark feature of this book is the Software Development Method that is introduced in the first chapter and carried throughout in the case studies presented.

From the Back Cover

This revision of the classic Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++ presents, and then reinforces, the basic principles of software engineering and object-oriented programming while introducing the C++ programming language. One of the hallmarks of this book is the focus on program design. Professors Frank Friedman and Elliot Koffman present a Software Development Method in Chapter 1 that is revisited in the Case Studies throughout the book.

This book carefully presents object-oriented programming by balancing it with procedural programming so the reader does not overlook the fundamentals of algorithm organization and design. Object-oriented concepts are presented through an overview in Chapter 1 and then demonstrated with the use of the standard string and iostream classes and a user-defined money class throughout the early chapters. Chapter 10 shows how to write your own classes and Chapter 11 shows how to write template classes. The presentation of classes is flexible and writing classes can be covered earlier if desired.

Other Highlights:

Conforms to ANSI/ISO C++ standards, including new material on the Standard Library
Makes use of proven pedagogical features including end-of section self-check exercises and programming exercises, extensive examples, robust case studies, clearly marked program style displays and syntax displays, in-depth chapter reviews, arid detailed syntax and run-time error discussions in each chapter
Utilizes a dynamic two-color design to highlight important material
Includes interviews with leading computer scientists to show the significance of the material in the real-world
Contains new appendices covering Visual C++, C++ Builder, and the standard container classes and iterators

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
