C++ is type safe. Kid sister is a type. Thus C++ is safe for kid sister. Just say yes.

but I don't think it should be the primary language anymore for the degree.
Having a general to thorough understanding of the "fundamentals" is important to a well rounded programmer. If your going to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk.

C is way better. Never had any use for C++.

I agree, C sucks, but the lessons I learned while learning C are now invaluable. I'd say learn C instead of C++ in school, use C++ instead of C in the real world.

I can agree with that.
OT. One kid in my class somehow recieved a segmentation fault from an empty main method. 
It was considered an epic fail by the professor, a.k.a. "The embodiment of the C programming language"

Not that I should talk, because I still dread the day I might have to actually use WPF, WCF, EF, or heaven forbid, write something real in a web environment, but diversity is important, and the more exposure one has, the better. That's certainly not an original thought.

Actually, that looks like an emoticon. Winking and whistling at an attractive young filly perhaps?

Isn't that the emoticon for Harold at Hastings?

I voted No, as those features aren't limited to C++. If it's understanding how computers work, then you should learn Assembler.
Concepts can be taught in any language. (Edit: Just as long as they get taught in the first place...)

Taking it a step further may be how operating systems and hardware work, all basic knowledge not tauch on comp sci coursess. I know I have a intern working for me at the moment. It seems they focus on java and c# all the 'soft' languages.
|

I would rather recommend, learning OOPS concepts as they don't pretty much differ from language to language.
