>Doh! And are you required to put your recent C++ knowledge at use in Atlanta, or are you going to a Java course? :-)

Nope. I'll be using Fox in Atlanta. The C++ will be used when I get back to SLC in a couple of weeks. And never Java. I really dislike the idea of write once, debug everywhere.

I've spent my last 10 years doing FoxPro, so let me say that it was rough. I still consider myself a beginner in C++ at this moment.

I'm definately a beginner. Alot of what I already know about OOP, etc definately helped in my understanding. I'll be using C++ alot in the near future. Luckily I'll be working with people who have been doing it for years, so they'll help me.

I would prefer to learn and use C#, but I'll be working on an existing application that's needs some work.
