C++

I've been an old school C programmer for almost 6 months now. The product I work on is written entirely in C on UNIX for speed and portability. But I was just told that the new task I have been given can be written in C++!

void func( int arg1, char *arg2, int default = 4); YAY!

Not to mention inheritance, operator overloading, the STL, type safety, etc...

For those aspiring programmers out there, here's a good place to start with C++
