Summary

This is the world's leading book for teaching introductory programming concepts and C++ to novices. This book teaches readers how to define their own classes early, while ensuring a solid understanding of basic tools such as simple control structures and function definitions. It takes a measured approach to classes, teaching how to write some simple classes, then adds constructors, then overloading simple operators, then overloading the I/O operators >, and so forth. Anyone beginning to program with C++.
