<lament> What makes me really worry is that many places even seem to be unaware of the fact that there is a C++ standard. I'm afraid most software is still being written by copy-pasting stuff from questionable sources on the web by people who don't understand what they're doing. </lament>
And from really bad books. There are several beginners' C++ books published every year, far too often by authors who barely understand the language, let alone how to teach it to a beginner. Worse still, the good books that are published often go unrecognised by the majority of programmers. Reading e.g. the "c++ in depth" series should not be seen as too advanced for most people. jon
