RE: [Dev-C++] help

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

Now i disagree with that. :) I learned C on my own (Teach Yourself C in 21
Days and K&R) and now i am learning C++ on my own (Teach Yourself C++ in 21
Days and currently reading Bjarne Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming
Language" Special Edition).

 To learn C++ is not a prerequisite to know C or another programming
language. I am not advertising a book but speaking of my knowledge if he
reads Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days he will become an efficient C++
programmer. After all C++ is a multiparadigm language (that's why is so
huge) and you need not know it all so as to write efficient code. If he then
wants to learn it all, he can proceed in Special Edition (1000 deep thinking
book).

C++ is not an alien language, but written by humans for humans to do our job
in an efficient way.

From my experience, if he has to choose between C & C++, my advice is C++
since it has high level constructs (more easy to work with than low level
C). As for the efficiency of the code, C++ programs have the same speed or
better. Also if you write code in the right style, you have no need for
manual memory allocation & deallocation and thus possibility of errors. And
many more benefits.

I suggest take a look at one interview.

The only thing one needs to learn C++ programming is wish to learn it. :)
