Overview
This concise C++ programming book emphasizes C++ features, examples, and applications that are most relevant to the engineering and computer science fields. The author uses a problem-solving approach to show how to use C++. He focuses on the features of C++ that are most important in engineering and science applications, with other features described in optional sections, appendices, or on the text's website. Each chapter contains a carefully selected set of programming projects of varying degrees of difficulty, along with chapter summaries that highlight key terms, important points, design and style suggestions, and common programming pitfalls.

Reviews
The book is lavishly illustrated with examples and exercises, which would make it both an ideal course companion and a book for private study. The author's abilities to explain briefly the history of computing and to write an engaging text are to be commended. If you buy only one text on programming in C++, then this should be the one for you. -Carl M. O'Brien, International Statistical Review (2013), 81
