I currently don't know neither on a useable level (well, I'm able to
do very easy patches but that's about it). The motivation for choosing
C++ over C was the OO paradigm which I very much like and since it is
reported to cause serious problems to get accustomed to C++ OO if you
come from a C background, I wanted to avoid learning C in first
place...

Got his "TCP/IP illustrated" here. While everyone said it was very
good,
I found one of the O'Reillies to be better. Bookshop didn't have a
single book on socket programming today (well, except for Java but
that would hardly solve my Python performance problems ;-).


Best regards,
 Gabriel
