try python or ruby for quick OO learning, or even java.  c++ is a bad
language for someone to learn OO with, IMO.  yes, other languages
lack various/some OO features, but ISTM that this lack of feature
would be better to learn with than all the shotguns-at-feet features
in c++.

PS -- come on out.  I haven't had time to (re)-read chapter(s), and I'm
sure I'll be lost on the details of the chapter.
