Abstract

Almost 70% of industrial job openings list knowledge of C/C++ as a desirable qualification of potential job applicants. This large and increasing demand for programmers with C/C++ experience is leading many colleges and universities to switch to C/C++ as their primary teaching language. This paper presents a detailed outline for an introductory class in C++ offered to community college students who have completed a single semester of Pascal. The class was first taught in the fall semester of 1994. The paper pinpoints problem areas encountered and discusses refinements made in class content during succeeding semesters.
