Ease of learning seems to me to be a very weak point of C++, and that's why I advise people to learn to program in another language first. But at least it gives you the chance to write at a somewhat higher level than C. > I went from C to C++ and on to C#. Oh, they started us on Pascal, which was the principal academic language in those days, though it was never particularly well suited as a teaching medium for the usual university syllabus. Java has taken that place now, especially on the less mathematically-oriented courses, but I still feel that the basics are easiest to learn with the help of a functional language. I can't imagine what it would be like to have to learn C as a first programming language, though some of the postings on this newsgroup give me some idea. > I saw in a recent publication that Microsoft is doing away > with its managed stuff in its Visual C++.NET, that would be a > welcome step forward. Is that so? Why would it be welcome? Alwyn
