Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Based on the idea that readers are more likely to use a method successfully if they learn it early, this guide teaches programming in C++ in a style suitable for the novice. It introduces the use of classes; shows how to write ADTs that maximize the perfomance of C++ in creating reusable code; and provides coverage of all important OO functions, including inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation.

Includes index.

Author notes provided by Syndetics

Walter Savitch, who teaches at the University of California at San Diego, brings his rich experience as both a successful teacher and best-selling author to this new text, his fifth Addison-Wesley book. His other books include the highly successful introductory programming texts Pascal and Turbo Pascal, both in 4th editions, Ada (with Charles Petersen), and the recent Data Structures and Other Objects (with Michael Main).
