Brief C++: Late Objects, Enhanced eText, 3rd Edition, is a textbook designed for a two-semester introduction to programming sequence. Written by Cay S. Horstmann, it introduces fundamental programming techniques and design skills while assuming no prior coding experience and only high school algebra.
The volume covers foundational concepts, data management, and object-oriented programming. Early sections use objects where appropriate, while custom class design begins in Section 9. The presentation also incorporates features from the C++ 2011 and C++ 2014 standards as recommended practices or special topics.
To support student practice, every section of the enhanced eText provides built-in activities, open-ended review exercises, programming exercises, and projects with immediate feedback.
