Anyone want to learn C++ with me?

BTW. As far as I recall, you liked C# when you spent time with it.
Did you ever post why you sidestepped and ended up with C++ as opposed to #?

I did enjoy C#, very much. The only problems that I ran into was the various .NET runtimes. On my work computer I can not install the latest and greatest .NET runtime so I am stuck using an older version. Therefore, I couldn't use the latest Sharp Develop IDE. I also got sucked into the belief that there was hope for PowerBASIC so I started to wait for good news there.

Also, C# is Windows only unless i want to pursue Mono.

C++ gives me a tremendous amount of flexibility. It is much easier to use than plain C.

I know Xamarin builds on Mono(Develop*) in some way, but to my understanding it's not bothering users with Mono but compiles native applications ― using C#.
