If you have questions or comments, please send email: ola@cs.duke.edu . I welcome corrections as well.

The book comes with many, many programs and classes all of which are provided free (even to those who have not adopted the book). The software has been tested under g++ under Solaris and Linux, Borland/Turbo C++ and Visual C++ running under Windows, and Metrowerks Codewarrior on Macintosh computers.

The book uses string and vector classes consistent with the classes that are part of the proposed AP Computer Science C++ classes
