This is a good book, I teach and use it in a high school classroom.
Good explinations for beginner programmer, (minor changes needed to code since book has been out a long time... i.e. 'using namespace std'). Code examples download_able from the internet.

We use this book in our AP Computer Science class, and although it is easy to read, it lacks a lot of detail. I do not recommend this book to anyone studying for the AP Computer Science AB exam.

Both as a reference and an introduction to various subjects, this book has served well as out C++ class's primary textbook. It has projects at the end that you have to learn from even if you couldn't quite get the rest of it. Excellent stuff.

Introduction to Computer Science Using C++ is a great textbook. I am currently a Junior at Fairfield High School and this is my textbook for my Computer Science II class. We're preparing to take the AP test and this text has done an astounding job. While books such as Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days Third Edition may be a better choice, this is still a great source for learning C++. It covers a wide range of topics, from file I/O to matrices, vectors, and more. If you're looking for a book that's easy to understand, this book is definitely a great buy for you.

I love this book for its clear, detailed descriptions and explanations of every aspect of computer programming with C++. I have read some APCS textbooks but none of them were clear enough. I highly recommend this book to any computer programming novice.

This is a very well written textbook that covers all of the main topics in C++ programming. C++ concepts are very well explained. It is also well organized and the well designed typographical style makes the reading very clear. This book makes difficult programming concepts easy to understand.

I ordered this book for one of my daughter's classes. It arrived very quickly, and it is everything the seller said it would be. And by the way, my daughter has an A so far in this class, and her work is way ahead of schedule. Thanks.

I used this book at the University level in an Introduction to Computer Science class. Having never taken any sort of computer programming before, I found it easy to read and follow. Loved the step by step programs with each section.
