Hello,
I would really like to learn C++ and I already have a copy 'Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0'. However, my C+ book was copyrighted in 1994 (yes, a bit too old, I know). I just wanted to know how much C++ has changed since then and whether or not my book would be completely useless today! Should I go buy a new book?
Oh, and I really like the changes on this site! :)
C++ as a language has not changed. However, the STL libraries have changed over the years, depending upon the IDE developer (ie. Borland vs. Microsoft). However, the changes are MOSTLY implementation changes, so this should only really be a concern for you if you're trying to port code from 1994 over to today. :D
