This text allows introductory computer science to be taught in a language as powerful as C++. The author distills C++ down to a core of fundamental data types, structures, and syntax so that the instructor and student can concentrate on the essentials of programming. Objects are introduced in two stages. From the second chapter on, students learn how to use predefined classes, in particular strings, streams and graphical shapes. Students should become comfortable with the concepts of creating and using objects. A conscious effort is made to reduce the technical complexities of C++. There is no mention of topics such as member initialization list syntax or default parameters. The approach allows students and teachers new to the concept of objects to make the transition more easily from Pascal, C or other non-object languages into a C++ environment while still conveying all of the material essential for understanding the basics of computer science. Toward that goal, the author incorporates various pedagogical aids throughout to help students with especially challenging topics. Examples in the text should lead students to better programming style. This text should be of use in any introductory course based in C++.

Time Is On Your Side

Whether you′re a student or professor, time is really on your side with Horstmann′s Computing Concepts with C++ Essentials, Second Edition. This highly accessible text introduces students to the concepts and principles of computing using a subject of C++. With its focus on problem solving, design of solutions and fundamentals of programming using ANSI standard C++, professors will quickly be able to show students how to apply these skills in developing exciting, working programs. Horstmann follows an "objects early/implement classes later" approach where students discover how to use objects early on, and later learn how to implement them. As they begin to understand these concepts, they′re also develop good programming habits and a consistent style with the included programming style guide.

Special Features

  • Object–oriented features covered include the discovery and design of classes, and the concept of inheritance.
  • Students become familiar with objects, then move on to mastering fundamental programming concepts and finally tackle the implementation of classes.
  • Throughout the text, students will learn tips, tricks and traps that they′ll need to know to become good programmers.
  • An optional compatibility library allows the use of ANSI features with most popular compilers.
  • The programming code from the book can be downloaded at: http://www.wiley.com/college/horstmann.
