- My comments:
- 1.) Learn Standard Pascal. Know what's real structural and modular
- programming. Then, get some knowledge about Ada.
-
- 2.) Learn C, O/S, UNIX and compiler at the same time. Missing anyone of them
- makes you C programming skills looking doom. (like mine :)
-
- 3.) All C, C++ and Pascal can handle Windows programming successfully
- (/well??)
-
- 4.) Note that other than the non-standardization of C++ language, C++
- is an object-oriented language. Do not try to think C++ has much
- similarity with C. C++ is another language.
- OOP requires very good OO concept, just as writing in Prolog, Parlog,
- etc.
- But if you really want to know what's OO, may try
- Smalltalk or Eiffel (sp?)
-
- 5.) For jobs, dBASE, COBOL, and FoxPro!
