Thanks. > > > > -A.J. Werner > > http://www.pr.erau.edu "Essential C++" by Lippman "C Interfaces and Implementations" by Hanson The first book is a quick intro to ISO C++ with an STL focus. The second book shows you how to write Ada-like C code, if you haven't learned already. It also provides a bunch of reusable data structures, consistent and well documented.
