C++ Software Development for Technology Students

Summary

For courses in C/C++ Programming and C++ Programming for Technology.

This text presents a balanced discussion of C++ language skills, top-down and object oriented design—along with experience in design and development that directly relates to real-world job skills. Practical applications in this book will explain, first-hand, how to design a system and why. Focusing on these development skills, the text demonstrates how to organize source code into files (.CPP and .H) by object.
