Anti C++ sentiment?

[Mr_Capehill]

Well, it's "natural" to program Amiga in C. I mean all the examples from DevCD, for example, are pure C code.

In the eyes of a beginner C++ looks scary (as a novice, I know that . Lots of complex structures etc, namespaces, constructors, pointers, polymorphism etc. It doesn't look very nice and clean, no wonder since it was originally extended from C.

But the point is that C is an old language missing many features, and C++ is very important language these days (with Java). Maybe this could be taken into account with the new developer material?

Anyway, I hope the best luck to you with your book and I will be buying it when published :-D

Yes I know that there are pointers in C, and that it can look very complex too. (I'm sure C doesn't fascinate beginners either

Well, of course the classes and many other things which might make it more complex but also more powerful and suitable for large scale applications etc.

C won't die as long as the Unices (whats the plural form?) and Linux  stay around.

I didn't actually meant to put C++ down, but just wanted to tell about my feeling when I first time read C++ code. Of course it has become a lot more clear since then  :-D

Any C++ tutorials for Amiga on the net?

[Mr_Capehill]

I prefer using Amos any day instead of AmigaBasic!!! !! !  :-D

[Mr_Capehill]

Now, the lack of carbage collection and pointer usage separates languages for real men and others

Yes, indeed AmigaBasic was a Microsoft product. Luckily I haven't been using it a lot (it crashed all the time) but I have heard from a zillion of sources that it was a nightmare  :-P
