C++ An Introduction to Programming

C++: An Introduction to Programming provides an innovative approach to C++�the programming language of choice in many Computer Science curriculums as well as in the programming work environment. The academic world remains strongly divided as to whether C++ shoi01 be taught at the introductory level as a vehicle for programming knowledge or at the secondary level because of it's complex nature. C++: An Introduction to Programming was written to accommodate both schools of thought. Liberty and Keogh skillfully blend solid principles of C++ programming with the technical aspects of the C++ language. Throughout the book, the authors discuss guidelines for proper programming style while addressing the constructs of C++. Because topics are presented in a less abstract way than in other books, students can use C++: An Introduction to Programming as a tutorial guide in the lab or as a tool to support lectures in the classroom.
