For Introduction to Programming (CS1) courses that are taught in C++. Unique in approach, this is the first introductory C++ programming text to get students involved with objects and object-oriented design, analysis, and programming from day one. Students quickly learn to understand class declarations and use a wide variety of existing classes. By chapter 5, the book has covered simple conditional and loop control structures that enable students to design and implement their own classes. Throughout this text, each concept is carefully developed and supported with numerous examples, figures, and complete programs.
