I can use to roughly map C++ syntax to Objective-C syntax. Thanks!
A little off-topic for the Cocoa-dev list, but...
Bruce Eckel has a book called "Thinking in C++" that is in its second
edition. Eckel is a very complete and meticulous writer, and his books tend
to be a little lengthy, so I normally wouldn't recommend this to someone who
is looking for a quick primer in C++ syntax, but I bring it up because it is
available FREE online. See, for example,
http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html
Of course, I am sure there are numerous on-line tutorials. One reference I
like to use if I am looking for information on an OO computer language is:
http://www.cetus-links.org/
This is an organized collection of links for practically every OO language
ever invented. Find the language you are researching (in your case, C++) on
the first page, then click on that to get a list of links categorized under
topics such as tutorials, reference, main web sites, available compilers,
etc.
