If you have C experience, it'll be quick once you get your head around constructors, destructors, inheritance, templates (I never did enough of that to get it), et al.
It essentially implements a bunch of things we used to do as functions, libraries or modules when we recognized a strong re-usability potential, and formalizes all that to the object oriented model.
Good luck on it and I know you'll enjoy it once you see results.
Thanks! Not much C experience. I'm an old Assembly Language guy. Trying to enter the 21st century now. C++ is a lot to learn and it looks like a lot of it has to do with the way things are done in OOP. The book is very long (878 pages) but well regarded.
