C++ An Introduction to Computing

I think it's well written and intelligently presented. It's a good introduction not only to C++ programming, but also to computer science as a whole. - Larry Herman, UNITEC Institute of Technology This book has a very large number of exercises, with a large variety of types. It is one the things that attracted me to the text. I am pleased with the quantity and quality of the exercises in this book. - Cary Laxer, Computer Science, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Joel Adams and Larry Nyhoff address two key goals for first-year computing courses: to give students programming skills in a specific language, and to introduce them to the larger field of computer science.
