C++ (and Java) Resources for CS1 and CS2

Here's information on using Java in the AP program.

There is lots of information on using C++ in the introductory sequence of Computer Science Courses, but it's scattered literally all over the world. This page serves as a gateway to C++ resources for these early courses.

If you have information you'd like to add or know of information that should be added, send me mail at ola@cs.duke.edu
