Many students and programmers familiar with Pascal are now looking to upgrade their skills to a well-structured object-oriented programming language such as C++. This textbook provides such an "upgrade path" by presenting a course on C++ in the spirit of structured programming. Both authors teach this material to a wide variety of students and include numerous programming exercises to test a reader's understanding and to increase their confidence in programming in C++.
