SummaryTable of Contents
Starting Out with C++ teaches C++ from the ground up, and assumes no prior background in programming. In Starting Out With C++, Gaddis makes a very detailed and slow-paced presentation of both programming and C++ syntax concepts so all readers will be able to follow along. Objects are introduced after control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers, and C-style strings are used throughout. The book includes the hallmark pedagogocial features that readers of Gaddis books have come to expect. Readers who are new to programming, as well as tho... MORE
