If you are really interested in C++, I would recommed Stanley Lipman's=20 C++ Primer=20 as a place to start. Also, for more advanced examples,idioms, etc... I wo= uld=20 definitely recommend Scott Meyers books as well as anything by Jim Coplie= n=20 and Lipmans Inside the C++ Object Model.=20 Regards, Weston On Thursday 26 September 2002 02:32 pm, Frank Heitmann wrote: > Hi. > > I have used FreeBSD for about 6-7 weeks now (great system; I have > to admit that I like UNIX much more than Windows) and now that I > got a little better with the system in general I wanted to start > to program for it, so that I will hopefully be able to help. > > But as I read through some code I noticed that my C/C++ needs some > refreshment and improvement (especially OOP) first.
