Summary

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. This book is designed for readers without prior programming experience, and is also appropriate for those with knowledge of other languages who want to learn the C++ programming language.
