[Gllug] C++ Nothing technical not very interesting

[Jackson, Harry]

Hi all

	I have applied for two courses with the OU next year one of which is
going to involve C++ and the other RDBM's. Is there an easy application to
start learning C++ on Windows (My OU finishes in October and I am going to
migrate to Linux which will give me three months to play before the course
starts) I have played with KDE Develop on Mandrake as well and was wondering
if this is the best one around for a beginner on Linux.

The following was posted by Nix a while ago and was not the reason I wanted
to do C++ honest.

`No, no. C is a small sharp knife. You can cut down trees with it, and
 get it cut down exactly the way you want it, with each shaving shaped
 exactly as you wish.

 C++ is a small sharp knife with a bolted-on chainsaw and
 bearing-mounted laser cannon rotating at one revolution per second
 wildly firing every which way. You can cut down trees with it, and get
 it cut down exactly the way you want it, with each shaving shaped
 exactly as you wish.

 You can also fire up the chainsaw and cut down the entire forest at
 one go, with all the trees cut down exactly the way you want them and
 every shaving shaped exactly as you wish -- provided that you make
 sure to point the wildly rotating and firing laser cannon in the right
 direction all the time.'
