Reviews 'This isn't a reference book, or a fast-track course in C++ for experienced programmers. It is a serious attempt to help novice programmers become more confident practitioners of the craft...The book has a refreshingly light-hearted style quite unlike that of most programming texts, and you will be hard-pressed to find a friendlier or more accessible introduction to C++ and programming in general'. - Dr Nick Efford, Senior Teaching Fellow, University of Leeds Description A humorous and friendly introduction to programming for undergraduate students meeting the subject for the first time. Using C++ as a running example, Jenkins outlines the principles of programming that will serve as a valuable foundation in good practice for when students meet other languages in later courses. Packed with cartoons and entertaining examples, this book is an accessible, student-friendly guide to programming for beginners.
