An Introduction to Programming by the Inventor of C++
Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++, Third Edition, will help anyone who is willing to work hard learn the fundamental principles of programming and develop the practical skills needed for programming in the real world. Previous editions have been used successfully by many thousands of students. This revised and updated edition
Assumes that your aim is to eventually write programs that are good enough for others to use and maintainFocuses on fundamental concepts and techniques, rather than on obscure language-technical detailsIs an introduction to programming in general, including procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming, rather than just an introduction to a programming languageCovers both contemporary high-level techniques and the lower-level techniques needed for efficient use of hardwareWill give you a solid foundation for writing useful, correct, type-safe, maintainable, and efficient codeIs primarily designed for people who have never programmed before, but even seasoned programmers have found previous editions useful as an introduction to more effective concepts and techniquesCovers a wide range of essential concepts, design and programming techniques, language features, and librariesUses contemporary C++ (C++20 and C++23)Covers the design and use of both built-in types and user-defi ned types, complete with input, output, computation, and simple graphics/GUIOffers an introduction to the C++ standard library containers and algorithms

From the Publisher
From the Preface
Programming is the art of expressing solutions to problems so that a computer can execute those solutions. Much of the effort in programming is spent finding and refining solutions. Often, a problem is only fully understood through the process of programming a solution for it.
This book is for someone who has never programmed before but is willing to work hard to learn. It helps you understand the principles and acquire the practical skills of programming using the C++ programming language. It can also be used by someone with some programming knowledge who wants a more thorough grounding in programming principles and contemporary C++.
Code can be beautiful as well as useful. This book is written to help you to understand what it means for code to be beautiful, to help you to master the principles of creating such code, and to build up the practical skills to create it. Good luck with programming!
