Object-oriented programming is presented as having numerous advantages over the
more common (and more widely taught) linear model.  Object programming,
however, does require new concepts--without them, it is perfectly possible to
write linear programs in an object language.

This book tries to present such concepts in two ways.  Part two of the work
gives overview descriptions of the ideas and the activities of programming. 
Part one, however, basically demonstrates the use of the C++ language in
producing a scheduling program with object-oriented methodology.

The stated purpose, to provide current software professionals with the
fundamentals of the new technology, may not be completely accomplished.  The
conceptual descriptions, while neither inaccurate nor obtuse, are still not
immediately convincing.  The C programmer, wanting to move into an object-
oriented environment, will find guidance here, but not without effort.
