Based on object-oriented programming using C++, Working Classes strikes a balance between traditional CS2 topics and more progressive concepts and language, providing a clear understanding of what a data structure really is. And it can be used successfully by your students, whether or not they used an OOP approach in their CS1 class. The authors present key concepts in the text of topics that students will encounter later, such as memory management for lists and parsing for trees. The text includes hundreds of exercises plus a library of C++ code so students can experiment. The authors focus on "classes" as a particular implementation of an abstract data type, demonstrating the power, adaptability, and reusability of object-oriented programs.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them. For more information on what we do, or how you can help, go to books4cause.com
