Good documentation techniques and habits are modeled in examples to help readers learn the importance of writing maintainable programs.-- Includes an introduction to the ANSI standard template library.-- This edition uses the spiral approach to learning, in which central topics are introduced early, and then revisited in increasing detail throughout the book.-- Pedagogy includes chapter objectives, chapter summaries, real world applications, quick quizzes, code warriors, and programming problems.Introduces key ideas behind object-oriented programming in an intuitive and unintimidating way. The book gives readers a solid introduction to traditional computing, scalar objects, and the concepts of reusability, control structures, functions and parameter passing, and modular programming and then proceeds to non-scalar (class) objects, to more fully illustrate the power of C++ objects. The book uses multiple examples and pragmatic, realistic programs to illustrate topics. Reusable program components and good documentation, for easily maintainable programs, are emphasized in both the resentation and examples.Nyhoff, Larry is the author of 'C++ An Introduction to Computing/Book and Disk' with ISBN 9780023694028 and ISBN 0023694025.
