Purchase options and add-ons
Enables readers to efficiently master the fundamentals of C++ and object-oriented programming, while imparting skills that are valuable with virtually any contemporary programming language. Writing in a friendly, highly motivational style, Walter Savitch begins with an overview of programming and problem-solving, then walks through all the fundamentals of C++ development. Coverage includes: variables, assignments, I/O, data types, expressions, flow control, functions, arrays, strings, vectors, pointers, and recursion, along with complete chapters on inheritance, exception handling, and templates. From start to finish, Savitch presents C++ examples in the context of complete, executable programs that are available for download. This edition fully embraces the latest ANSI/ISO standards, features an all-new chapter on the STL, and includes expanded coverage of namespaces. Improvements also include: access to Addison-Wesley's exclusive online CodeMate program competency builder; an all-new, full-color design, and many new exercises. For anyone who wants to master object-oriented programming with C++: both those who have experience with other languages, and those learning programming for the first time

There's a lot to like about Savitch's thorough presentation. I must admit I find his prose more suited to an oral hearing than a reading; he just gets a bit too cute at times. That, I admit, might show my generation gap-py away! I do find the graphics miles ahead of his Java book and the earlier C++ books. The programming examples are excellent, and the self-tests are great. What I would like, if the publishers are into popping out new editions, is solutions to a few of the more complicated programming challenges at the end of the chapters.
Yes, this was my textbook for a beginners programming course and I definitely kept it on my shelf instead of selling it on textbook buyback day at the college bookstore!
Do youself a favor if you want to learn C++ and buy this book. It's easy enough to follow that I'm CERTAIN I didn't need to be enrolled in a college course to understand it. It will give you the foundation you will need for UNIX or Windows programming as you become more experienced.
And besides all that, it is fun to read and not horribly dull and dry!
