Gary Bronson's A FIRST BOOK OF C++, Fourth Edition, takes a hands-on, applied approach to the first programming language course for students studying computer science. The book begins with procedural programming in C, and then gradually introduces object-oriented programming features and the C++ language syntax that enables first-time programmers to use them.

  • Gives introductory programming students a solid foundation in the C++ programming language.
  • Guides students through the syntax and semantics of C++ before introducing classes.
  • Offers a variety of end-of-section problems, including skill-building and programming exercises.
  • Highlights key concepts through the use of numerous diagrams.
  • Point of Information boxes in each chapter contain useful technical points, tips, and programming tricks used by industry professionals.
  • Contains programs and code that have been written, compiled, and tested with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, which is available as an optional bundle.
  • Fundamentals of software engineering are discussed from both procedural and object-oriented viewpoints.
  • Each chapter contains a Common Programming Errors section that describes problems beginning C++ programmers encounter.
  • The ANSI/ISO C++ iostream library and namespace mechanism are used in all programs.
  • Exception handling is discussed in a separate section, with practical applications of exception handling included throughout the book.
  • The C++ string class is covered.
  • A thorough discussion is included of input data validation and functions to check the numerical data type of input items and allow reentering invalid numerical types.
  • NEW! Part I has been restructured to include arrays, files, and pointers, so it can be used as the basis for a complete introductory semester course in C++.
  • NEW! The four chapters covering object-oriented programming have been revised and moved to Part II so that they form a logical continuation from structured programming to object-oriented programming.
  • NEW! More than 50 new exercises have been added, and each exercise is labeled to indicate its function (Practice, Program, Modify, Debug, Desk check, or For thought).
  • NEW! Three new Chapter Supplements have been added to introduce the fundamentals of object-oriented design and the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
