This book provides an accessible introduction to C++ and object-oriented programming for beginning students. The first half of the text gives students a solid foundation in top-down programming techniques, including control structures, problem-solving, algorithmic design, and the importance of testing and debugging. Building upon this foundation, the second half clearly explains Abstract Data Types, the C++ class, encapsulation, information hiding, and object-oriented software development. The straightforward, disciplined programming style is highly appropriate for introductory-level students. Free of intricate language features, it promotes good programming habits. In addition, clear examples, complete Case Studies, and numerous figures support the material.
