With respect to the author, and an understanding that there is probably much that didn't go into his self-description (add "about.htm" to the above URL), it sounds as though he knows primarily, perhaps solely, C and C++, and has done relatively little serious development since he seems to have spent most of his time either teaching or writing (words, not source code). Does he even *know* any real high level languages such as Python? And the fact that he's teaching C++ instead of just C seems to go against your own theories anyway... (though I realize you weren't necessarily putting him forth as a support for your position). -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
