My first language was C64 Basic and my second language was Assembly. After I learned 80286 Assembly, object orientation was a punch in my face: I was taught not to mix code with data, just to learn otherwise afterwords. What is complicated in C++ is not the pointers subject, but pointers mixed with classes and namespaces. Java is sweet as it does not have explicit pointers. Plain C is sweet as it does not have classes nor namespaces. C++ is a hell.

And what about those sites where much information is good and only some (but pretty important things) are really bad and wrong? Can a newbie tell the difference? Or even recognise this difference, to begin with? Yes, if he has a working compiler and he tests his code for abnormal situations. The problem with the bad code referenced in this thread earlier is that that guy learned C++ from a book, skipped some pages, and has no working compiler to test his code before pressing the Send button. And a good book may be not useful if the guy uses a pre standard compiler.
