Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects (7th Edition)

Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects (7th Edition), 9780132576253 (0132576252), Addison Wesley, 2011

Welcome to Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects, 7th edition. This book is intended for use in a two-semester C++ programming sequence, or an accelerated one-semester course. Students new to programming, as well as those with prior course work in other languages, will nd this text bene cial. The fundamentals of programming are covered for the novice, while the details, pitfalls, and nuances of the C++ language are explored in-depth for both the beginner and more experienced student. The book is written with clear, easy-to-understand language and it covers all the necessary topics for an introductory programming course. This text is rich in example programs that are concise, practical, and real-world oriented, ensuring that the student not only learns how to implement the features and constructs of C++, but why and when to use them.

Tony Gaddis’s accessible, step-by-step presentation helps beginning students understand the important details necessary to become skilled programmers at an introductory level. Gaddis motivates the study of both programming skills and the C++ programming language by presenting all the details needed to understand the “how” and the “why”–but never losing sight of the fact that most beginners struggle with this material. His approach is both gradual and highly accessible, ensuring that students understand the logic behind developing high-quality programs.

In Starting Out with C++: From Control Structures through Objects, Gaddis covers control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers before objects and classes. 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. This text is intended for either a one-semester accelerated introductory course or a traditional two-semester sequence covering C++ programming.

Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB

Wrox Press, 2004

Are your J2EE projects taking too long to develop? Are they hard to debug? Do they result in disappointing performance? You may still be using traditional approaches to J2EE that are overly complex and not truly object-oriented. Many of these problems relate to EJB: a complex technology that has not lived up to its hype.

In this hands-on guide,...

Development and Modelling of a Thermophotovoltaic System

Kassel University, 2008

The thermophotovoltaic (TPV) generation of electricity is based on the direct conversion of a thermal radiation coming from an emitter at high temperature into electric power by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. As shown in Figure 1.1 a heat source (generally a combustion process) is used to heat up an emitter material that converts...
