Owen L. Astrachan9780071217194, 0071217193

“A Computer Science Tapestry” is designed for use in a first course in computer science (CS1) that uses C++ as its programming language. This book covers basic concepts in programming, program design and computer science along with giving students a good introduction to the C++ language. In the new edition, Astrachan has put more emphasis on object-oriented programming by introducing a graphics library and including a new chapter on object-oriented techniques. He has also added new case studies and “design tips”.
