Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects, Brief Edition Description
This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book.
In Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects, Brief Edition, 7e,Gaddis takes a problem-solving approach, inspiring students to understand the logic behind developing quality programs while introducing the C++ programming language. This style of teaching builds programming confidence and enhances each student's development of programming skills. This edition in the Starting Out Series covers the core programming concepts that are introduced in the first semester introductory programming course. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter.

As a freshmen Computer Science major, I was slightly apprehensive about the text I would be using to truly learn my first programming language. Up until that point, my programming experience had been defined by some free Python tutorials which made even the simplest commands seem complex to me. C++ is a difficult language to learn. However, Gaddis really hits the mark with this text and two years later, I am still coming back to it again and again.
I have read numerous C++ texts now from C++ Primer, to Accelerated C++ and even Stroustrup's own books on the language he created. While those books are great, and offer perhaps more "intense" coverage of C++, Starting out with C++ will take you from having no experience of programming to a sound understanding of the intricacies of a complicated language. If you truly want to master C++, you will need to read those other books, but this one will get you up to the level necessary to really make use of them.
The book itself is quite large (over a thousand pages) but very readable. Its large size is due mainly to the massive number of programming examples found within it. Gaddis includes an entire, functioning program for all his programming examples (and there are hundreds of them). This allows you to see not only how to use a particular aspect of the language, but how it fits in with the other pieces of a program. On a side note, I am a huge fan of the extremely crisp, clean code that Gaddis uses. It's very readable, and has the tendency to spoil you as well. I found myself somewhat annoyed by the coding styles I found in other books since they are less readable than Gaddis's.
Gaddis does a tremendous job with this text, and if you read it carefully from page 1 onward, you'll never be left scratching your head.
