Course Description: Beginning C++ programming. Includes constructing programs using various control structures, input and output operations, data types, functions, classes, and text file processing. In this course will be covering ANSI C++, which is source code that is portable to different operating systems (Windows, Unix, Mac OS). That is why the programs developed in this course will be console applications, also known as DOS programs, instead of Windows applications. See specific course objectives below.
Prerequisites: CIS105 or permission of instructor; CIS150AB Object-Oriented Programming Fundamentals recommended.
Transfer: CIS162AB transfers to ASU as Computer/Statistics (CS) elective.
Computer Science Majors: Contact the Computer Science department at ASU to determine the transferability to the Computer Science or Computer Engineering programs.
Required Textbook: Savitch, W. (2012). Problem Solving with C++. 8th Ed, San Francisco, CA: Pearson / Addison-Wesley, ISBN-10: 0132162733, ISBN-13: 9780132162739. Prior editions of the textbook may be used, but be aware that the chapter and page numbers will not correspond with the assigned reading listed on the Course Schedule. eBook Available ($46): www.coursesmart.com
Optional Video Demonstrations: www.pearsonhighered.com/savitch/videonotes/
Required Supplies:
(1) Student ID Card required for lab access. Available at the Kirk Student Center.
(1) USB Flash Drive. A storage device is NOT required for students working at home.
Required Software: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express or Visual Studio Professional 2010.
Windows Version: Windows XP with SP3 or later is required to install Visual C++.
Verify your version of Windows and the hardware requirements at http://www.microsoft.com/express/support/ before beginning the course.
Options on Acquiring Software:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express - Free download through Microsoft at www.microsoft.com/express/downloads/.
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional (includes C++, VB, C#) available as a free download through MSDNAA. All account requests will be processed after the 2nd week of the semester, so the free Express edition should be used for the first few assignments. For instructions on requesting an MSDN Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) account visit: www.mc.maricopa.edu/dept/d07/promo_msdnaa.html
- Students may use any C++ compiler available to them, but my technical support and knowledge of other products will be limited.
