A Computer Science Tapestry: Exploring Computer Science with C++

A COMPUTER SCIENCE TAPESTRY is designed to be used in a first course in computer science that uses C++. The book focuses on computer science concepts and uses the C++ language to demonstrate these principles. Although the new edition maintains its object-oriented approach, it has been slightly reorganized to consolidate some procedural programming topics such as functions, making it easier to cover them if desired. Additionally, more coverage of arrays has been added, allowing instructors to choose whether they want to cover vectors or arrays. The pedagogy of this book continues to be one of its strongest features. Pause to reflect exercises encourage students to check their understanding; output boxes highlight finished code, and stumbling block sections help students to avoid common errors. Additionally, this book is known for its excellent and substantive examples-new to this edition is the inclusion of more simple examples.

A Computer Science Tapestry

A Computer Science Tapestry provides a compelling introduction to computer science and program using C++. Drawing from real-world examples, the text exploits the best features of C++ in teaching programming, computer science, and problem-solving and software engineering skills. The book is designed to be used by students with no programming experience but provides a solid introduction to C++ and object-based object-oriented programming for those with knowledge of another programming language.
