	I am glad to see this kind of recommendations in this group.
	The top-down approach has been The scheme for years and, being
	a software person, I am trained to break a problem into
	procedures.  Recently, having a new assignment to look into the
	OODB and c++, I began to explore this new area (new to me, at least).
	I started with the "Programming in C++" by S. Dewhurst and K. Stark.
	Since not yet through with it (i.e., I am not yet a c++ person),
	I have not seen the benefit to depict a problem by means of classes
	and objects.  While I enjoy topics like language syntax or context,
	I would also like to know how this OO approach is different from 
	procedural one and recommendations to new c++ers.
