The problem with messing with pointers in C, C++ and

suggestive of what's going on.
A good tutorial will take care of that. And except for image and raw data manipulation, pointer arithmetic is sooo 90ies, read: obsolete.
And pointers are not really that hard to understand -- certainly not hard enough to warrant avoiding them. The sooner someone understands the the better off he'll be.

Or just use a language (AppleScript, JavaScript, Python, SmallTalk, Lua, etc...) that doesn't have pointers.
