The first edition of Computing Fundamentals with C++ quickly became the number one selling C++ college textbook. The same features that helped it capture the top spot are retained in the second edition. A gentle, objects-early approach is used. Problem solving is blended with object-oriented design. The goal is to teach students how to create easily maintainable software. Each chapter contains many class-tested projects. Reinforcement is provided by the strategically positioned self-check exercises. Numerous end-of-chapter exercises give the instructor much latitude in assigning homework.
