-
- I imagine it will start with the C-like subset demonstrating
- the structured paradigm, then go into object-oriented with classes,
- and then cover the generic/STL material. At least, I believe
- that is the way I think it should be done.
-
- I think ACM has web pages www.acm.org. You might be able to
- find someone working on it there. There is also a comp.edu
- newsgroup where you might ask that question as well.
