This is the world's leading book for teaching introductory programming concepts and C++ to novices. This book teaches readers how to define their own classes early, while ensuring a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. It takes a measured approach to classes, teaching how to write some simple classes, then adds constructors, then overloading simple operators, then overloading the I/O operators << and >>, and so forth. Anyone beginning to program with C++.
Walter Savitch is a professor of computer science at the University of California, San Diego, where he has been one of the main designers of the computer science curriculum. A well-known and respected author and educator, he has most recently written Problem Solving with C++: The Object of Programming, Third Edition and Data Structures and Other Objects Using C++, Second Edition (with Michael Main).
Prof. Savitch has long been heralded by instructors and students alike for his engaging and accessible writing style. Absolute C++ will continue to benefit from these talents and earn more praise as it caters to the needs of everyone in the classroom.
