Big C++: Late Objects, 3rd Edition focuses on the essentials of effective learning and is suitable for a two-semester introduction to programming sequence. This text requires no prior programming experience and only a modest amount of high school algebra. It provides an approachable introduction to fundamental programming techniques and design skills, helping students master basic concepts and become competent coders. The second half covers algorithms and data structures at a level suitable for beginning students. Horstmann combines his professional and academic experience to guide the student from the basics to more advanced topics and contemporary applications such as GUIs and XML programming. More than a reference, Big C++ provides well-developed exercises, examples, and case studies that engage students in the details of useful C++ applications.

This book uses the C++ programming language as a vehicle for introducing computer sci­ence concepts. A substantial subset of the C++ language is covered, focusing on the modern features of standard C++ that make students productive. The book takes a traditional route, first stressing control structures, procedural decomposition, and array algorithms. Objects are used when appropriate in the early chapters.

Of course, programming students need to be able to implement nontrivial programs, but they first need to have the confidence that they can succeed. The Enhanced E-Text immerses students in activities designed to foster in-depth learning. Students don’t just watch animations and code traces, they work on generating them. The activities provide instant feedback to show students what they did right and where they need to study more. A wealth of practice opportunities, including code completion questions and skill-oriented multiple-choice questions, appear at the end of each section, and each chapter ends with well-crafted review exercises and programming projects.
