On to C Plus Plus

This is a concise introduction to the C++ programming language which intends to teach a practising programmer the essentials of the language without a lot of time-consuming overheads. Key concepts and techniques are introduced in their logical order as features are added to a short, yet representative C++ program. The program uses knowledge about containers and railroad cars to print a capacity report for a freight train, thereby demonstrating the ability of C++ classes to capture knowledge about naturally-occurring categories.
