This tutorial is designed to give a working knowledge of C++ (and indirectly parts of C) as quickly as possible for people with Java programming experience and familiarity with basic programming language concepts. By working through the exercises, core C++ concepts can be learned and practiced. This tutorial is not a substitute for a good C++ textbook; in several places, you are referred to a textbook for more complete information. This tutorial also assumes familiarity with the UNIX operating system and a text editor.
