An intro to C++ should indeed cover classes, objects, and such. If it didn't it would be a into tro C, not C++ ;-) Most "intro to C++" books assume C knowledge and build on that, so I second Adam's suggestion of learning C first. That said, most people learning C++ for the first time (myself included) don't know the difference between C and C++. Actually, after learning C, I never got around to learning C++ and just use something like Java or Python if I need to do OO. -Mark PS: I <3 C _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
