Understanding Programming: An Introduction Using C++

by Scott R. Cannon

The second edition of this text was written with the community college and non-major CS1 student in mind. Cannon's breadth-first spiral introduction to programming in C++ gives students the satisfaction of programming very early in the course, using one data type, one condition statement, one loop form, etc. As they progress, they are introduced to more intricate programming. Although the author introduces useful aspects of object-oriented design, the text does not emphasize OOP.
