A gentle introductory programming book written specifically to teach readers to use objects for the very beginning, rather than starting with structured programming. Perfect for structure programmers that need to learn the object-oriented perspective. Covers the fundamentals of C++ and gives a firm grounding in the object-oriented paradigm. Begins with the systems development life cycle and demonstrates where the software development cycle fits within it.

Jan L. Harrington is the author of Introductory Programming with Object-Oriented C++: An IS Perspective, published by Wiley.
