Reference Books and Other Materials


The following may be of use for those who would like further information about typical CS1 and CS2 topics, C++ programming, data structures and algorithms, etc. The items listed are in alphabetical order by title (though ignoring starting articles such as "A" and "The").
  • Algoviz Wiki Provides links to many algorithm visualization resources.
  • Cprogramming.com Also includes some C++.
  • C++ From the Ground Up, 2nd ed. Herbert Schildt. Osborne/McGraw-Hill (1998). Schildt is known for his clear explanations.
  • C++ For Programmers. Deitel & Deitel. Prentice Hall (2009).
  • C++ How to Program, 6th ed. Deitel & Deitel. Prentice Hall (2008).
  • The C++ Standard Library, 2nd ed. Nicolai M. Josuttis. Pearson (2012).
  • Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors, 3rd ed. Frank M. Carrano and Janet J. Prichard. Addison-Wesley (2002).
  • Data Structures & Other Objects Using C++, 2nd ed. Michael Main and Walter Savitch. Addison Wesley Longman (2001).
  • Data Structures & Program Design, 2nd ed. Robert L. Kruse. Prentice Hall (1987). This well-written text is Pascal-based. There is also a third edition (1994) as well as the newer text, Data Structures and Program Design in C++, authored by Kruse and Alexander J. Ryba (1999).
  • Data Structures and the Standard Template Library. WIlliam J. Collins. McGraw-Hill (2003).
  • Data Structures: Form and Function. Harry F. Smith. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (1987).
  • Data Structures in C++ Using the Standard Template Library. Timothy Budd. Addison-Wesley (1998). This book is intended for a data structures course. It uses the STL (standard template library) extensively.
  • Data Structures Using C++. D. S. Malik. Course Technology (2003).
  • Data Structures Using Pascal, 2nd ed. Aaron M. Tenenbaum, Moshe J. Augenstein. Prentice Hall (1986). Although the examples are written in Pascal, this book gives a clear explanation of many of the common data structures and algorithms.
  • Data Structures with C++. William Ford and William Topp. Prentice Hall (1996). This book is more advanced in most places than the material presented in these Web pages and is more appropriate for a course on data structures. It makes extensive use of templates.
  • Introduction to Algorithms. Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, and Ronald L. Rivest. McGraw-Hill (1990). This book contains a considerable amount of material, much of it more advanced than that presented in these Web pages.
  • Introduction to Computer Science with C++. Kenneth A. Lambert, Douglas W. Nance, and Thomas C. Naps. West Publishing Company (1992). Templates are used in the later chapters to present data structures.
  • An Introduction to Computing, 3rd ed. Joel Adams and Larry Nyhoff. Prentice Hall (2003).
  • MFC Programming in C++ with the Standard Template Libraries. William H. Murray and Chris H. Pappas. Prentice Hall PTR (2000). This book discusses templates, the standard template library, Microsoft Foundation Class programming, and graphics programming.
  • A Practical Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis. Clifford A. Shaffer. Prentice Hall (1997).
  • Problem Solving, Abstraction, & Design Using C++, 3rd ed. Frank L. Friedman and Elliot B. Koffman. Addison-Wesley (2000).
  • Problem Solving with C++, 7th ed. Walter Savitch. Addison-Wesley/Pearson Education (2009).
  • Starting Out with Games & Graphics in C++. Tony Gaddis. Addison-Wesley/Pearson Education (2010).
  • STL Programming from the Ground Up. Herbert Schildt. Osborne/McGraw-Hill (1999).
  • Teach Yourself C++, 5th ed. Al Stevens. MIS:Press (1997).
  • Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5 in 24 Hours. Mickey Williams. Sams Publishing (1998).
  • Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5.0. David A. Holzgang and Lewis Napper. MIS:Press (1997). This book gives a good tutorial on visual programming.
  • Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days. Davis Chapman. Sams Publishing (1998).
  • Visual C++ 5: The Complete Reference. Chris H. Pappas and William H. Murray III. Osborne/McGraw-Hill (1997). Useful for those who want to do visual programming.
  • Visual C++ 2008 How to Programi, 2nd ed. Deitel and Deitel. Prentice Hall (2008)
