This book covers the fundamentals of C++ programming for the novice, as well as the details, pitfalls, and nuances of the language for both the beginner and more experienced student. The book is written in clear, easy-to-understand language. At the same time, it covers all the necessary topics of an introductory computer science course. The text is rich in example programs that are concise, practical, and real-world oriented. This approach was taken so the student not only learns how to implement the features and constructs of C++, but why and when. The book teaches C++ in a step-by-step fashion. Each chapter covers a major set of topics and builds knowledge as the student progresses through the book.
