ot c++ help
what im looking for is a good guide for C++. i have a background in c#, but have let 5 months of rust accumulate, and the company i work for (trying to bust into programming department) codes in c++. my understing is that the two are so similar that i could probably pick up c++ in a day or two, but since i could use a refresher i could really go in a lot of directions. it could be a book for novices, intermediates, or even advanceds. mostly, i want it to be quality (i've seen a lot of not too helpful stuff out there). i learned c# using headfirst (oreilly), and would use them again, but can anyone recommend something better?
thanks in advance!

I didn't realize there was anything above Public Relations Lieutenant.

I second the Stroustrup book suggestion.
stackoverflow.com is an excellent Q&A site nobody's mentioned yet. Here's a link to the C++ tag there: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/c%2b%2b
(EECS 280 was awesome!)

great video tutuorials for beginners to semi-advanced plusers. I have referenced it before when I was stuck on a project in school.

you don't have to write in ROS. Any battery developers out there?

PDP-11 Assembly Language!
Punch your program to tape and feed it (through a Teletype terminal) into one of the machines in the basement of East Engin. A word to the wise: use the new fanfold mylar tape, rather than the rolled paper tape; the Teletypes are getting old and tend to leak a little oil onto your input medium every once in a while.
That was, literally, Old School.

I wasn't part of it, but my understanding is that, at least when I was there, students in Software Engineering at the University of Toledo were required, or at least were supposed to take classes to learn how to program for punch cards or punch tape as part of their degree. I guess some head in the department thought it was important for the students all to learn the history of it.
I always thought that sounded a bit like requiring those studying business to learn how to barter, but eh.

I didn't have to do that when I attended UT. Then again I vaguely recall having access to punch cards in one of the labs.

but when such courses were offered. Punch card programming at UM was described in this thread; the year was 1971.
