This text provides a student-friendly, highly readable introduction to C++ programming for beginning programming students, especially those majoring in Information Systems and Business. It guides readers through complete and clear descriptions of sample programs, including a wealth of exercises along the way to help reinforce the important points of each chapter. Clear throughout the text is a strong emphasis on business applications, rather than those in science or computer science.




Opens with a gentle introduction to standard, non-object-oriented C++—building a strong foundation in basic programming skills—then eases into discussions on object-oriented C++.
Guides students step-by-step through clear, accessible explanations of concepts.
Includes exercise sets with each section to offer frequent opportunities to challenge and reinforce recently acquired skills.
Includes a FREE CD-ROM that contains Microsoft's Visual C++ 6.0 Introductory Edition software.
Designs programming problems and examples specifically for today's business student.
Develops a single, on-going application throughout most of the object-oriented part of the book, letting students see every important concept fully implemented and explained in code.
Supports discussions with a sound instructional framework composed of:

• Chapter objectives and summaries.
• Boxed Notes sections that highlight important ideas.
• Approximately 700 end-of-section exercises divided into paper-and-pencil exercises, experiments, and programming problems.
• Unique experiments that students can use to extend material in the book and explore new areas.
• Business-related programming problems.
• Approximately 140 completely developed and carefully explained programs.
