Teaching C++ as an Introductory Language

The code and slides accessible here were used in a tutorial given as part of PLDI (Programming Language Design and Implementation) at FCRC 1996.

Slides

Postscript and Adobe Acrobat versions of the slides used in the talk will be accessible soon.

Code

I used many example programs in the tutorial. The code for these is provided below. In some cases the code uses classes that are part of the introductory C++ book that I'm writing and in some cases the classes have been designed for use in the Advanced Placement Computer Science courseas it changes to C++ from Pascal. Links to the necessary classes are also given below.

calendar code
calendar.cpp	date.h	date.cpp
dice code
roll.cpp	dice.h	dice.cpp
rando.h	rando.cpp
stream/randomwalk code
ostr.cpp	titles.cpp	randwalk.cpp
inheritance code
educators.h	educators.cpp	pldi.cpp
CD database code
