    Any great place where I can read-off a tutorial on how to do Object-Oriented programming? Im using Borland C++ Enterprise 6.

    I learned most of what I know from
    http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

    You might want to rethink learning C++, I would advise you to begin with Java. Objects in C++ "talk" to each other using things called pointers, which aren't easy to get your head around. Things are a bit simpler in Java.

    If you are going to be using C# next year why would you bother messing about with C++. C# is a much more modern OO language and if you can already program in C it would be a very easy transition.

    Visual Studio Express edition (C#) is free.

    This is a very good tutorial on C#

    You can get Visual Studio Express from here

    cheers for that reference - it looks pretty ^_^

    we bothered with C/C++ so we could get a taste for its performance power which is kinda uber when you give it a thought. I think we were only using standard C libraries anyway - just in a ++ environment /=|

    Not terribly sure the motive behind knowing C# except maybe for the convenience factors (my god, the time I spent troubleshooting array-boundaries) and resource management... its for a Games course anywho and somehow I reckon I will be learning a 3rd or 4th language before I'm done.
