-
- I second the call for a discussion of intro textbooks. At UNI,
- we are moving our Programming I course to C++ -- assuming that
- we can find a suitable text. Is there such a beast? Our next
- courses in the sequence, Data Structures and Algorithms, will
- also be taught using C++ as the laboratory language for students,
- but I am not certain to what extent the texts for these courses
- need (or even *should*) be written in the context of C++. Are
- there any specific comments/pieces of advice that anyone can offer?
