Welcome to C++ for Python Programmers. This short ebook is an ongoing project to help Computer Science students who have had one or two semesters of Python learn the C++ programming language. If you are not a part of that audience you may still find this a useful way to learn about C++. This book is written using the build on what you know philosophy. In order to help you learn C++ I will start with a Python example and then implement the example in C++. Along the way we will examine the strengths, weaknesses and differences between those two languages.
