I've been programming in C for over 20 years. I've gotten up to speed on C++ for work.
I like the expression "in C you can shoot yourself in the foot, in C++ you can blow off your leg". C++ does have advantages -- but I haven't seen most C++ programmers use them -- instead they often obscure the problem at hand by making the implementation more complicated than the problem they're trying to solve. BTW -- I've been doing "object oriented" stuff in C for years -- its harder, but its doable. You have a much simpler language to deal with. First learn how to write good programs in C. Then see if C++ buys you anything extra. If it doesn't, you don't need C++. But I've seen far too much C++ that's just obscure C. Just my experience and opinion. marty _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
