Welcome to the Web page for Cay S. Horstmann, Computing Concepts with C++ Essentials, 1st edition.

• The code library in ZIP and TAR format. It auto-senses all recent versions of the Borland, Microsoft, Symantec and Gnu compilers. No switches to set--just compile and go. The library now supports Windows graphics, DOS graphics (BGI) and X11 graphics.
  This library has "ASCII art" for those users who don't have Windows, DOS or X11 graphics. Use the same code as in the book, but #define CCC_ASC instead of #define CCC_WIN. Lines and circles are then formed out of * characters. The results are not very pretty but certainly functional.
  If you don't yet have a program to open a ZIP file, I recommend that you get WinZip. After unzipping, you will find installation instructions in the file README.TXT.
• Help for your students. These pages describe, in complete detail, how to start up eight versions of the Borland, Microsoft and Symantec compilers. You don't have to walk your students through the steps--just give them the URL.
• The style guide
• The bug list.
• Lab exercises The exercises can be submitted both in traditional format (i.e. pencil and paper) and electronically, via the web.
• There is now a second edition (with the "clock" cover).
• If C++ isn't your first language choice for CS1, check out Computing Concepts with Java Essentials! It teaches the same concepts with the same pedagogy, but it uses Java as the implementation language.
