Text Selection Considerations:

• Publishing Dates: older texts may lack more recent C++ features, such as bool.
• Edition: earlier editions (and printings) are more error prone.
• System Dependence: system-dependent texts cut down the confusion but don't age or port well.
• Classes: early v. middlin' v. late v. classless
• AP-like classes: Esp. strings and templated vectors
• Coverage
• Pedagogy, Examples, Descriptions, Exercises, Problems
• Text (lecture notes) v. Reference
• Appendices, Supplements
• Web Resources. (references may need updating)
• Beyond AP
• CS/A: Recursion yes
• CS/AB: Inheritance not on exam
