本书集中介绍C++核心概念和特性，覆盖了《C++大学教程》（第五版）前13章的内容。

相信这本教材及其辅助材料包罗了教师和学生进行C++教学所需要的一切，使他们充分体验集信息性、趣味性、挑战性和娱乐性于一体的学习历程。

本书详细介绍了C++面向对象编程的核心概念和方法。与前几版相比，本书从内容和结构上都做了较大幅度的修订和有意义的提升特别是在“尽早接触类和对象”这一观点的指导下，从第1章就开始涉及类和对象的内容，从而突破了传统教学程序，使学生直接“考虑对象”和更彻底地掌握面向对象的基本概念。本书共分13章，详细讲解了计算机与互联网的基本概念、C++编程基础、类与对象的知识及控制语句等，细致分析了函数和递归、数组和标准库类模板、指针和字符串、运算符重载及继承与多态等C++常见主题。通过大量的“活代码”例程，尤其是贯穿多个章节的若干综合性实例研究，对每个新概念都用完整的、能实际运行的C++程序进行介绍，并以403条凝结了60多年编程和教学经验的六类编程提示，使学生将学习重点放在程序开发的关键部分。

本书适合作为双语教学教材，是所有对C++编程感兴趣的读者的有益参考书，既可作为高等院校计算机及相关专业的教材，也可供各类软件开发人员参考。
