Big C++: Late Objects

Big C++ Late Object provides an introduction to C++ and computer programming that focuses on the essentials and on effective learning. It is suitable for a two-semester sequence in C++ programming for students in computer science, engineering, technology, and the physical sciences. The Enhanced E-Text requires no prior programming experience and takes a traditional route, first stressing control structures, procedural decomposition and array algorithms. Objects are used where appropriate in early sections of the Enhanced E-Text. Students begin designing and implementing their own classes in Section 9. The second half of the Enhanced E-Text covers algorithms and data structures at a level suitable for beginning students. All Enhanced E-Text sections include many different forms of guidance to help students build confidence and tackle the task at hand, including Self Check and Practice activities along with end-of-section Review Exercises, Practice Exercises and Programming Projects.
