Computer science tapestry:exploring computer science with c++

In the new edition, Astrachan has put more emphasis on object-oriented programming by introducing a graphics library and including a new chapter on object-oriented techniques. He has also added new case studies and "design tips."

This text features an appendix which concisely covers basic rules of C++. Features

• String and vector classes are used rather than C-style strings and arrays.
• This text features exercises following each section, as well as Case Studies/Design Projects at the end of every chapter.
• More than 130 complete, commented programs are included within this book.
• Students learn to read, modify and enhance programs before writing them from scratch.
• Presents standard, procedural ways of programming and object-oriented in parallel.
