About our authorsTony Gaddis is the principal author of the Starting Out With series of textbooks. Tony has nearly two decades of experience teaching computer science courses, primarily at Haywood Community College. He is a highly acclaimed instructor who was previously selected as the North Carolina Community College “Teacher of the Year” and has received the Teaching Excellence award from the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development. The Starting Out With series includes introductory books covering C++, JavaTM, Microsoft® Visual Basic®, Microsoft® C#®, Python®, Programming Logic and Design, Alice, and App Inventor, all published by Pearson.
Judy Walters is an Associate Professor Emerita at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, where she was a member of the Computer Science faculty for 33 years and served as Department Chair for six years. Of the many courses she taught, her favorites were introductory courses such as Discrete Structures and the freshman programming sequence. She now divides her time between Illinois and Costa Rica, where she continues programming, writing, publishing, and doing volunteer work with local students.
Godfrey Muganda is a Professor of Computer Science Emeritus at North Central College in Naperville. During his 27 years at North Central, he taught a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses, including algorithms, computer networks and security, compiler design, and web applications. He now spends his time enjoying his family, learning cool computer science stuff, teaching an occasional course, and writing.

C++ fundamentals for programmers of all skill levels
Starting Out with C++: Early Objects introduces the fundamentals of C++ programming in clear and easy-to-understand language, making it accessible to novice programming students as well as those who have worked with different languages. The text is designed for use in two- and three-term C++ programming sequences, as well as in accelerated one-term programs. Its wealth of real-world examples encourages students to think about when, why, and how to apply the features and constructs of C++.
Organized in progressive, step-by-step fashion, C++: Early Objects gives instructors the flexibility to teach how they please. The 10th Edition has been updated to include C++11 standard features, an expanded Standard Template Library (STL), and new or revised material on a number of topics. Additionally, many new and updated programs, checkpoint questions, end-of-chapter questions and exercises, and programming challenge problems have been added throughout the book.
