My post below brings up one of the HUGE advantages of C++ and C: there are a ton of resources available on the Web. If I Google <C++ tips> I get 6,400,000 hits. If I Google <HLASM tips> I get 5,380 hits. Google hits are not the whole story, but you get my point. With HLASM if you hit a wall you have this list and the assembler list and not much more. With C++ there are dozens or hundreds or perhaps thousands of helpful Web sites, including the incredibly useful stackoverflow.com.
Is everything you read on the Web true? No, of course not. But just like on this list, if someone posts advice that is not perfect, three others are quick to jump in with corrections.
