   While this doesn't teach C++, if someone has undestood the basics of C and the   
   basics of Java/Classes, I think it's a rather good foundation to learn C++   
   when it's needed for a project. One can then, using a good book, concentrate   
   on (modern) C++    
   specific stuff and isn't hindered by any missing low-level or high-level   
   knowledge.   
      
   'Course one could ask why not just use C++ and teach both low and high level   
   concepts in the same langauge :-)

   Good C++ code is better than good C code, but   
   bad C++ can be much, much worse than bad C code.
