No. I've spent far more of my working life puzzling through OO in C to want to inflict it on others. But I've also become a fair to middling C programmer, and the strength I bring to that task has a much to do with knowing how to build large systems in a comprehensible way from the elements the language exposes, as it does to a basic knowledge of those elements. I.e. knowing how to code a case statement isn't the same as building a 50x400 state machine that's efficient, robust and debuggable. I suspect the same is true of the skills and knowledge held by an experienced C++ hacker. So I suspect that the C++ FAQ, and the Sutter book are just the ticket. thanks c
