C++: An Introduction to Computing

by Joel Adams, Larry R. Nyhoff, Sanford Leestma

Introduces key ideas behind object-oriented programming in an intuitive and unintimidating way. The book gives readers a solid introduction to traditional computing, scalar objects, and the concepts of reusability, control structures, functions and parameter passing, and modular programming and then proceeds to non-scalar (class) objects, to more fully illustrate the power of C++ objects. The book uses multiple examples and pragmatic, realistic programs to illustrate topics. Reusable program components and good documentation, for easily maintainable programs, are emphasized in both the resentation and examples. Appropriate for anyone interested in computer sciences, engineering, and mathematics using C++ to lay the groundwork in programming.

This was a high school textbook of mine whose contents were only adequate when I used it and are now far outdated. There are much better resources available.
