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.

  • The book provides a solid foundation in the C++ programming language for introductory programming students, with a focus on syntax and semantics before introducing classes.
  • The end-of-section problems include skill-building and programming exercises to reinforce learning.
  • Key concepts are highlighted with numerous diagrams, while Point of Information boxes contain useful technical points, tips, and programming tricks used by industry professionals.
  • The book covers software engineering from both procedural and object-oriented viewpoints, with separate sections for exception handling and C++ string class.
  • Input data validation and numerical data type checking functions are thoroughly discussed.
  • The book has been updated with a new structure for arrays, files, and pointers and revised chapters covering object-oriented programming, with more than 50 new exercises added, and three new Chapter Supplements to introduce object-oriented design and the Unified Modeling Language.
