- C++ is a reasonably difficult language to learn. It has a lot of
- features, and some very interesting quirks. However, making effective
- use of C++ is not simply a matter of learning the syntax and semantics
- of the language. It is just as important (if not more important) to
- learn the concepts and practice of Object Oriented Design (OOD) and
- Object Oriented Analysis. Without this knowledge, C++ is little
- better than C with strong types.
