STARTING OUT WITH GAMES AND GRAPHIC IN C++

In 'Starting Out with Games and Graphics in C++', Gaddis covers the essentials of programming for a novice using the C++ language. It assumes nothing of the students, and covers each and every step. Throughout the book, programming topics are illustrated with graphical examples, including full chapter long case studies that implement simple, but complete, video games. This approach insures that students remain motivated by the material, while still getting a solid CS1 foundation. Only enough game- and graphics-theory is covered for students to understand the examples.
