  About the Book

Why this Book? This is the first semester I have used the Deitel & Deitel book and so far I am impressed with its breadth of coverage and coverage of the ANSI/ISO draft and the standard template library. IT also covers material taught in both CS150 and CS250 eliminating the need for two books.

Why the CD ROM? I choose the version with interactive CD because I believe it will enhance your learning of the material. While the CD does not replace a live lecture, it does go beyond a traditional textbook. It is not essential that you get the CD version and its use depends on your tastes and study styles.

Where is the Source Code for the Book? I have downloaded the source code for the book and placed in on the web site (click here).

What's important in the Book? Well that depends on your background. I have mapped out the sections in the book using the following classification:

• Basic: this material is basic to programming and should be studied by anyone for whom this is a first course in programming. (e.g. a graduate study whose major is in another area).
• C/C++: this material should be studied by anyone who already knows a programming language but does not know C or C++.
• C++: This material should be studied by anyone who has taken CS150 or knows C or only the precedural parts of C++. (i.e. does NOT know object oriented programming).
• All: this material should be read by all students
• General: this material is of general interest but will not tested in this course
• Skip: this material can be ignored for this course.

During the first two weeks of the course, you will be assigned a personal study guide, assignment list and reading pages. In the meantime, you can examine the general-purpose ones by clicking below
