    Expressions and Statements
    Describes what statements blocks and expressions are. Shows how to branch code based on conditions. Discusses what truth is and how to act on it.

    Functions
    Examines what a function is and what its parts are. Illustrates how to declare and define functions pass parameters into functions and return a value from a function.

    Basic Classes
    Explains what classes and objects are. Demonstrates how to define a new class and create objects of that class. Discusses what member functions and member data are. Describes what constructors are and how to use them.

    More Program Flow
    Explains what loops are and how they are used. Shows how to build various loops. Presents an alternative to deeply-nested if/else statements.

    Pointers
    Shows how to declare and use pointers. Explains what the free store is and how to manipulate memory.

    References
    Examines how references differ from pointers. Shows how to create references and use them. Identifies the limitations of references. Demonstrates how to pass values and objects into and out of functions by reference.

    Advanced Functions
    Covers how to overload member functions and overload operators. Demonstrates how to write functions to support classes with dynamically allocated variables.

    Arrays
    Discusses what arrays are and how to declare them. Explains what strings are and how to use character arrays to make them. Examines the relationship between arrays and pointers. Illustrates how to use pointer arithmetic with arrays.

    Inheritance

    Polymorphism
    Examines what multiple inheritance is and how to use it. Discusses virtual inheritance. Explains what abstract data types are. Covers what pure virtual functions are.

    Special Classes and Functions
    Shows how to use static member variables and static member functions. Illustrates how to create and manipulate pointers to functions and pointers to member functions. Demonstrates how to work with arrays of pointers to functions.

    Advanced Inheritance
    Explains what containment is and how to model it. Explains what delegation is and how to model it. Shows how to implement one class in terms of another. Demonstrates how to use private inheritance.

    Templates
    Explains what templates are and how to use them. Tells why templates supply a better alternative to macros. Shows how to create class templates and function templates.

    Exceptions and Error Handling
