Features: This book is divided into two volumes. The first volume primarily introduces object-oriented (including procedural) programming, while the second volume focuses on message-oriented visual software design and development. The C++ language is used for the explanation. The first part (Chapters 1-7) of the first volume serves as a foundation and introduction, mainly covering basic concepts and presenting the "platform" of software development, giving readers a general understanding of the computing discipline and the role of this course. The second part (Chapters 8-31) is about C++ programming, which explains how to conduct programming and development step by step using the HIS (Hospital Information System) example. The second volume will elevate HIS to a software perspective for design and development. The feature of this book is to first present "problems," directly address "problems," then "abstractly analyze" the problems, followed by how to "design" and "solve" them. It helps readers understand the differences and connections between object-oriented and procedural approaches, showcasing the entire "production" process of software, and enhancing systematic thinking and abstract problem-solving skills. If successfully completed, this course should equip students with fundamental knowledge of software design and basic abilities to develop visual application software, which may help improve their interest in software development, deepen their awareness of science and professionalism, and boost their confidence. The first volume of this book is suitable as a textbook for C++ programming courses in computer science, software engineering, and related disciplines. Both volumes are suitable as textbooks for software development foundation courses in computer science and software engineering. Due to the book's comprehensive examples and practical implementations, it is also very suitable for self-learners.
