Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++

Problem Solving, Abstraction, and Design Using C++ presents and reinforces basic principles of software engineering design and object-oriented programming concepts while introducing the C++ programming language. 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.

Elliot Koffman is a professor of computer and information science at Temple University.
