I've taught C++ to nearly 2000 Fortran Scientists/Programmers most of whom never saw C before. Sure, in the first of six half day sessions, it is hard to tell if I'm teaching C, C++, Objective-C, Java, or even C# except that I use C++'s iostream. Even the second session which deals with functions and pointers, it is hard to tell except introduction of C++ new, delete, and references. So I don't think you need to learn C before learning C++. In fact, experienced C programmers have a tough time understanding C++ reference while Fortran programmers catch on quicker. The hard part of the course starts with the third lesson when OO is introduced. But is the OO that is hard, not the syntax. So again, you don't need C before learning C++. _______________________________________________ PyKDE mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
