为了使我国计算机的教育水平赶上国际步伐，缩小与世界计算机技术水平的差距，清华大学出版社隆重推出“现代计算机教育系列教材(英文版)——国外著名大学教授鼎力之作”。
这套教材由我国著名计算机专家金兰教授主编。金兰教授1949年毕业于清华大学电机系，后留校任教，1952年赴前苏联留学，获副博士学位。1956年回国后，金兰教授主持清华大学计算机专业的创建工作，先后担任计算机教研室主任和副系主任。1984年后，金兰教授在美国从事计算机专业教育工作，目前是美国Fresno加州大学计算机科学系终身教授。
本套教材的作者均是目前在美国等计算机发展水平较高的国家担任大学教授的专家学者，他们在世界各知名大学担任主讲教授，并且，他们也将在自己任教的学校使用这些教材。我们希望这套教材的出版能使我国的计算机教育尽快与世界计算机教育接轨。英文教材的编写将尽量考虑中国国情，使之适合中国学生学习。在出版英文教材的同时，还将组织与之相应的中文翻译版教材的出版，使那些学习中文版教材的学生也能赶上国际计算机教学的水平。
我们尝试用这种聘请国外教授编著教材的方法出版教材，旨在希望这套教材能够加速我国计算机教育水平的发展，缩小与发达国家的差距。同时，也能提高我国计算机教材的出版水平，为我国计算机教材注入更新的活力。希望这套教材能够得到我国计算机教育领域的广大师生的关注，并提供宝贵的建议。

This book is written for those students who want to make object\|oriented programs with C++. It arranges the contents by using “methodology first, language second” to prevent students from making non\|object\|oriented programs in C++. It also introduces the methodology via easy\|to\|understand ideas from our daily life. After the fundamental principles have been discussed completely, it introduces C++ mechanisms when they are required to do real practical projects with a step\|by\|step method. Another feature of this book is that it emphasizes the differences between object\|oriented and non\|object\|oriented mechanisms in C++ and highlights the possible problems brought in by using some C++ specific features such as friend, multiple inheritance and templates.
This text intends to be a text for advanced programming courses and also intends to be used for a course of programming for engineering students. It will help readers to master object\|oriented programming in C++ in an easy and efficient way. This book is not only a textbook but also a book that will help the students who have little or no access to instructors or professors when they enroll a distance\|learning course.
For a beginner without any knowledge in either C or C++, a C++ programmers manual at hand will be helpful. The prerequisites for this book include basic knowledge of C or C++, the basic ideas of programming, and data structures.
Although this text targets to the senior or graduate students of Computer Science, it introduces principles and concepts with daily life examples which is welcome by mature students of different majors. Therefore, it can also be well used by those engineering students who just have one course relevant to programming. This text is also a good reference to programmers and software engineers.
Why did we write this book?
We thoroughly explored the reasons before we decided to begin. There were several challenges at the beginning. First, we have about 20 books on our desk about object\|oriented programming and C++ programming. Most of the books are very good. Second, we have many courses to teach and a limited time to write this text. However, we started at last.
The first motivation comes from the encouragement of the students who took our classes. They said they really learned how to use C++ to make an object\|oriented program by attending our lectures and doing the projects we assigned.
The second motivation is that we really have many novel ideas for teaching and research in object\|oriented programming which were accumulated over our ten\|year experience in C++ teaching, research and applications.
The third one is that we find that many students may obtain good grades on examinations, but when they are asked to make a practical program, they do not even know where to start. It is our hope that this book is the last book the students will need before they begin practical object\|oriented C++ programs.
The last motivation is that no book on our desk has the structure and the motivation to help students learn in distance. These distance\|learning students obtain no or little face\|to\|face help from instructors. For this kind of distance\|learning classes, it is difficult to evaluate students by ordinary examinations. Without reasonable and well\|designed projects, students cannot be successful in distance\|learning.
We believe that it is impossible for one to master an object\|oriented programming language only by learning its basic structures and syntax and without applying them to real\|life projects. Therefore, we have imagined a book to guide students solving a practical problem when they are learning an object\|oriented programming language.
Preface Object\|Oriented Programming in C++: A Project\|Based Approach The Audience
This book intends to be a text for advanced programming courses and also intends to be used for programming courses for engineering students. There are a lot of requirements from engineering students who want to learn object\|oriented programming with C++. These students are different from the students of computer science. They have taken many engineering courses but few computer science courses. Object\|oriented programming courses based on our text might be their only programming course. Our text is very good at introducing object\|oriented programming to these kinds of students.
This text is for students who want to solve real practical problems by developing object\|oriented C++ programs. It will help readers go from a novice to the next level. We hope that this book is not just a textbook, but also a book that will help students who have little or no access to instructors or professors in a distance\|learning course.
For a beginner without any knowledge in either C or C++, a C++ programmers manual at hand will be helpful. The prerequisites for this book include basic knowledge of C or C++, the basic ideas of programming and data structures.
Although our text targets to the senior or graduate students of Computer Science, we paid more attention to the introduction of principles and concepts with daily life examples which is welcome by mature students of different majors. Therefore, our text is more relevant to those students of engineering who may have one course relevant to programming such as Electrical Engineering and Industrial Engineering. Other texts are not intended to be used by engineering students but computer science students.
Tutorial Innovations
1. Discuss the methodology first and the language second.
In the first part, we emphasize methodology and ideas. After the object\|oriented methodology is completely discussed, in the second part we discuss C++ programming by doing projects. We believe that understanding the methodology first is essential for students to make real object\|oriented programs in C++.
This book supports a true combination of theory and practice.
2. Introduce the methodology via easy\|to\|understand ideas in life.
In the introduction to basic principles, we use simple and ordinary examples to discuss the basic ideas, concepts and principles of object\|orientation. This approach makes it easy for students to accept and master the principles.
3. Introduce C++ mechanisms when they are required to do real practical projects.
We use a step\|by\|step method to introduce C++ mechanisms to complete a practical real project. This learning style enables students to master C++, because everything we discuss is exactly what is needed to complete the relevant projects.
In the second part, in each chapter we provide an error\|free C++ source program that helps students get rid of the fear to compile and run a program.
4. Emphasize the differences between object\|oriented and non\|object\|oriented mechanisms in C++.
C++ is a “hybrid” language, i.e., it supports both object\|oriented and non\|object\|oriented programming. A novice may tend to make a non\|object\|oriented program with C++. We emphasize the differences between OO and non\|OO features of C++. We also highlight the possible problems brought in by using some C++ specific features such as friend, multiple inheritance and templates. This emphasis will avoid making a non\|object\|oriented program with a so\|called object\|oriented programming language like C++.
5. Use standard C++ features. The programs discussed in this book use no special features of any specific C++ compilers. Learning C++ with this book requires no specialized compiler. In other words, any C++ compiler should serve the purpose.
Project Packages
Throughout the text, concepts and programming constructs are amply illustrated with examples of practical importance. The package is organized by chapters. All the programs are checked and debugged with Visual C++ 6.0 and without any bugs.
