Introduction to OOP with C++

Object - oriented programming is presently the most commonly applied programming paradigm and as such takes very important place in Curricula of computer science faculties and faculties of different orientation in the field of information technologies. Although there are already many books and publications dealing with object-oriented programming, we think that there is still room for trying to find the most adequate ways to present this topic, based on experience in practice and in work with students.
