Starting Out with C++ from Control Structures to Objects

by Tony Gaddis

For two-semester courses in the C++ programming sequence, or an accelerated one-semester course. A clear and student-friendly way to teach the fundamentals of C++ Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects covers control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers before objects and classes in Tony Gaddis’s hallmark accessible, step-by-step presentation. His books help beginning students understand the important details necessary to become skilled programmers at an introductory level. Gaddis motivates the study of both programming skills and the C++ programming language by presenting all the details needed to understand the “how” and the “why”–but never losing sight of the fact that most beginners struggle with this material. His approach is gradual and highly accessible, ensuring that students understand the logic behind developing high-quality programs. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter. Updates to the 9th Edition include revised, improved problems throughout and a new chapter featuring completely rewritten and expanded material on the Standard Template Library (STL). Also Available with MyLab Programming. MyLabTM Programming is an online learning system designed to engage students and improve results. MyLab Programming consists of programming exercises correlated to the concepts and objectives in this book. Through practice exercises and immediate, personalized feedback, MyLab Programming improves the programming competence of beginning students who often struggle with the basic concepts of programming languages.

A great book. I used it to learn c++. It almost told everything about the included topics, but it also didn't include unnecessary information for beginners like me. This is the longest book I've ever read, and I feel great for finishing it!

A great introductory textbook if you want to teach yourself C++. Gaddis uses lucid examples to help you understand concepts.

I'm through chapter 7, will pick back up again when my second class starts! I have to say I do like this textbook though.

Man i just i dont even know if this was a good start?

[Benjamin Plume · Rating 3 out of 5]

If I were comparing this fairly to other textbooks, I might add a star. It did what it was supposed to, which is to say it delivered information in a way that was understandable. There were plenty of examples and useful multimedia help as well. However, since this was my first foray into computer programming, I have no basis for comparison.

much better lay out and hands on examples than previous books from this publishing house and author.

[Andrew Obrigewitsch · Rating 4 out of 5]

This books is one of the better computer programming books I've read. I feel that I really learned quite a bit about programming with C++ and can use the language now.

Very clear textbook with great explanations, examples, and practice problems.

[Exo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent example-driven book. I've read through it about 3 times now, because I continue to use it as a reference. Excellent, excellent book!

[Josmell Jimenez]

One of the best books I've ever come across. I recommend this book to anyone who's just starting in the programming field.
