Publisher's Synopsis
An Introduction to Object-Oriented Design in C++ introduces object-oriented program development from the ground up. Rather than forcing students to learn procedural design and then unlearn it when they are later taught object-oriented programming, this book helps students develop strong object-oriented design skills from the beginning. The book covers the full range of object-oriented topics, from the fundamental features common to all general purpose high-level languages, through classes, inheritance and polymorphism. The authors introduce students to common difficulties that arise in design and implementation, and then motivate new language features as aids for overcoming those difficulties.
