Editorial Reviews

"The book is lavishly illustrated with examples and exercises, which would make it both an ideal course companion and a book for private study. The author’s abilities to explain briefly the history of computing and to write an engaging text are to be commended. If you buy only one text on programming in C++, then this should be the one for you."
—Carl M. O’Brien, International Statistical Review (2013), 81
