Yeap. Also, how the hell do you think things work under the hood anyway?

I don't need that level of C++ education, I am way beyond that state since
early 90thies. Inheritance, overloading etc. etc. There is a "STYLE" of C++
which people talk about, but it doesn't make sense in all the googoo people
talk... and that sense is what I want to hear. Look at the Objective C manual
and there you see things very clearly motivated and you also get good "under
the hood" motivations for doing things this or that way. I don't need the
fluffy pictures and vauge connections, I want to know what the hell is a good
way of writing C++ stuff and WHY! When do what. A really good C++ programmer
will understand my frustration, but I haven't had time to bother any of the
once I know. I want to have it written down so I can read about it in my own
good time.

Cheers,
Magnus
