Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 18 Having just learned the fundamentals of C (using Kochan's first edition) and really liking it, I am hot to scarf on C++. Especially now that I am really warming up to the concepts I am picking up from going through Smalltalk-80. So I am looking for recommendations from the.venerable.net for a C++ primer. Please, something a lowly undergraduate can understand; I like theory, but a lot of the stuff I find in professional journals just whizzes on past above my head---I still have three semesters yet before I get a class that will cover Markov chains, so have a little mercy. From what little I could pick up from these journals, I would really prefer stuff that covers Release 2.0. I just recently started subscribing to this newsgroup, and the news archives don't show any discussion relating to this, but I just know that this must have been covered before, so could someone please e-mail me the summary? Many thanks in advance, c++.ppl. -- tyen@cs.utexas.edu == Anthony Yen, University of Texas at Austin Disclaimers: The usual, Flo.
