The Apprentice C++ Programmer: A Touch of Class Book

The primary aim of this book is to introduce fundamental aspects of object-oriented programming and design, using C++, within a software engineering background of problem solving, design, and testing. Types and objects pervade the whole learning process, starting in Part 1 with problem solving and design using types and objects. This continues in Part 2 with, first, the use of predefined types in introducing and demonstrating imperative language concepts, and then leading the student to build their own simple types in C++. A reviewer notes, "This book is the most refreshing textbook on any subject that I have read in the past several years. . . . The authors have done an outstanding job of weaving within the first chapters of the book the design and implementation of the necessary classes and objects."
