Object oriented programming using C++ : an introduction

Especially designed to teach object oriented programming using the C++ language to those with no previous experience of programming. Throughout the text many straightforward examples are used to introduce and illustrate new techniques and language features. Each chapter starts with learning objectives and concludes with a number of exercises. Solutions for all exercises are given in an appendix.
