Need some C++ reference recommendations...

[Paunchy]

I'm going to be teaching an Intro to Programming course this Fall semester, but I'm at a loss for what to use as the class text. Does anyone have any suggestions for a well-written text that covers the basics of C++ (variables, functions, pointers, some OO, etc)?

Thanks in advance.

Try C++ How To Program or C++ Primer. UCLA uses the books I just mentioned for their "introduction to programming" courses.

I second C++ How To Program by Deitel & Deitel. It's what we use here at RIT. Here it is at Amazon.com. Looks like they show you 166 sample pages to get an idea of it.

If you give that huge ass book to a student, he'll hate you for having to read so much ;] That book is big, and if your doing BASICS, then I don't think its worth getting students to buy that book for only beginners stuff...

It's excellent for beginners, just stick to chapters 1-5. That covers variables, control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers.
