I will use the followin text for this class:

Busbee, K. L., Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach using C++, OpenStax CNX, 2013

This book is part of the Open Texboook Library and can be accessed on line here

A local copy is here

This is my first time using this book, so we may have to adjust the content as we go. Specifically

• It was published in 2013, so we will have some syntax changes.
• It uses Bloodshed Dev +5, as the primary IDE. We will not be using this.

If you are interestd, I suggest

• Gregorie, M., Professional C++ 6^th edition, Wiley, 2024
  • This is a great resource for c++. It covers a the most recient, up to date c++ standard, in great detail. It is a bit much for this class, but a great reference for serioius programmers. In addition, I think it is the book for Obejct Oriented.
• Any of Bjarne Stroustrup's books.
  • Programming: Principles and Practice using C++, 3^rd, 2024
  • A Tour of C++, 3^rd 2023
  • The C++ Programming Language, 4^th 2022
• Most C++ text books will be helpful for this class.
• I will also use the following web sites
  • cplusplus.com. This site is more approachable, but not as up to date as you might wish.
  • C++Reference.com this is more up to date, but the entries can be confusing. It does a good job of discussing the differences in standard versions of C++.

  I will link on line resources into my notes pages as the semester progresses.
