General Development My physics teacher likes to say that physics like to make problems they face look like ones that they know how to solve. A simple harmonic oscillation was one he frequently used in class, as is presumably the case in physics in general.

uhh, no, not really, learning C++ from C is more like a 1-2 week job plus lots of experience. we are not talking about using C++ as a better C, we are talking about using all the class capabilities like polymorphism, virtual functions, multiple inheritance, etc.

hell, a moron can learn the basic syntax of C++ for procedural coding in 2 hours, but to really learn the power of C++, you need much longer if you are coming from C.

Obj-C from C is a much much better option, in this case you are talking about 2-3 days to learn the ADDED language features, and since the OOness is inspired by SmallTalk, it is fairly uncomplex, unlike the multiplicity of interactions one could get from C++.
