- : IMHO, YES. A good book to get for this is "Moving from C to C++, The
- : Ins and Outs of Object-Oriented Programming" (Perry, SAMS Publishing,
- : ISBN # 0-672-30080-X).
-
- Since this is the book that I learned from, be warned that this book has
- countless errors in it. The errata sheet for the book is just the first
- hint. The chapter on inheritance has loads of errors in it confusing
- public, protected, and private.
-
- I would not recommend this book, but I would recommend books that are
- intended to help C programmers move on C++ such as Ira Pohl's (sp?) books.
