In the 1990s, I also studied C++ as part of my electrical engineering degree. Now, after working in IT management for about 20 years, I have rediscovered C++ and am starting to relearn it. It's fascinating how the language has evolved and I'm having great fun getting to grips with it, but also struggling to understand some things. I look forward to the exchange here and hope to be able to answer one or the other question later on.
