I know they're different, but they're still close enough to use C code in your C++ projects.

And for my limited knowledge of C++, it still "feels" like an extended C.

I'm not claiming I know a hell of a lot about either - just that I know enough, for both to give me power and possibilities way beyond any other language :)

Sounds like you are more of a C++ = C with classes type of guy.

Maybe this will interest you:

Definitely! And I know I'm missing out on a lot... ;)

I don't get to use C++ enough, so I haven't been digging into the depths of what it's capable of.

I mostly program for embedded computers, when I get anywhere near C or C++, so not to much incentive to go digging... :-/

I still have an old copy of "The C++ Programming Language" on my shelf - unfortunately collecting dust...

Thanks for the link! I really look forward to hearing what his thoughts are on modern programming!
