  While my 17 year old nephew was visiting last holiday I was made 
to understand that he needed to learn C++ (what version I don't 
know - brand new ISO draft?) in order to succeed in U.S. college 
Advanced Placement tests.  Is this true?  Can't the tests be made 
somewhat language independent and more at a general computer 
science level?  Perhaps Professor Feldman can enlighten us.
