Appropriate for Introductory Computer Science (CS1) courses using C++ and Introductory C++ programming courses found in Computer Science, Engineering, CIS, MIS, and Business Departments.

This accessible text emphasizes problem-solving techniques using the C++ language, with coverage that develops strong problem-solving skills using problem abstraction and stepwise refinement through the “Programmer's Algorithm.” Staugaard first emphasizes the structured (procedural) paradigm, then gradually advances to the object-oriented paradigm—using object-oriented programming “seed topics.” This approach prepares students for in-depth coverage of classes and objects presented later in the text, while building essential structured programming concepts.

NEW - Software Engineering Modules throughout the book—Use the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
- Follows a company programming team from a disastrous build-it, fix-it spaghetti code program, to a structured design, and finally an object-oriented design of their program using the UML. Ex.___

NEW - Coverage of Standard Template Library (STL)—Teaches students how to use those templates.

NEW - CD-ROM with every text—Includes source code and Microsoft® Visual C++™ 6, Introductory Edition.

NEW - Appendix C on Visual C++™/Visual Studio.
- Teaches students how to use this integrated development environment from Microsoft. Ex.___

NEW - Introductory chapter.
- Provides an overview of basic hardware and software concepts. Ex.___

“Problem Solving in Action“ case studies—Includes working code with output.
- Applies the “Programmers Algorithm” problem-solving methodology to real-world problems. Ex.__

NEW - More business-related case studies.
- Demonstrates problem-solving in a real world context. Ex.___

NEW - Additional examples and problems.
- Offers students more opportunity to gain hands-on experience and apply what they have learned. Ex.___

NEW - Coverage of new topics.
- Includes the C++ string class, bool data type, and exception handling. Ex.___

Gradual introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
- Carefully prepares students for in-depth coverage of classes and objects later in the text, building essential structured programming concepts with object-oriented programming “seed topics.” There is no paradigm shift using this approach. Ex.___

The use of “Programmers Algorithm”—Step-by-step process that provides students with correct programming skills such as considering problem definition, solution planning via algorithms, and good documentation.
- Emphasizes problem-solving throughout the text, with time-tested techniques that prepare students to design software using any programming language or paradigm. Ex.___

Laboratory Manual for each chapter in the text—Includes objectives, a lab introduction, and at least two lab problems. The lab problems include pre-lab activities, in-the-lab activities, and lab submission cover sheets with suggested program grading criteria.
- The pre-lab and in-the-lab activities parallel the problem-solving methodology students learn in the main text by asking them to define problems, plan solutions, and code, test, debug and document programs. Ex.___

Pedagogy throughout the text—Includes programming, style, and debugging tips; and caution boxes.
- Helps students write better programs and avoid common mistakes. Ex.___

Chapter-end “Quick Check” exercises—Over 350 total.
- Invites students to practice what they have learned and receive immediate feedback from the Appendix answer key. Ex.___
