I’ve done a little programming in C++, but it was pretty basic stuff like making a program that finds prime numbers and such. I’ve never touched the Object Oriented stuff. I have access to a computer that has Borland C++ Builder 6.0 and C++ .NET Studio installed. Are there any free online lessons or primers on C++? ---

Do you know C? I knew C well and taught myself C++ with a book called Moving from C to C++. I give it a high rating for people who aready know C.
