You have experience in c# but c# is not c++. It won't be a waste of time if you take a look on a "newbie" manual and go through the things you already know. There may be a lot of tiny differences that you think are obvious but make your programm going wrong.
On the other hand... Use google with "manual c++ advance" there should be manuals for all kinds and tastes. Or just go through articles in C++ section here in codeproject.

ok  thanks for the advice..
only one question left  how did you learn it and when?
what is the best way to learn it?
you say start from scratch?
Did you use a book? maybe you have a good reference for me?
Thanks!

Hi,
I learned C the first year of my Engineering Degree, Borland C++ v1.5 in my 2nd year and ensambler on the 3rd. But not so deep. Afterwards I have use ActionScript for Flash MX 2004, a bit of java and sql. But the most knowledge about C++ I have, comes from sites like that, MSDN, 4 or 5 manuals I founded in Internet (some on English some on Spanish) and with the old "Try and Error" (specially this last).
The manuals I have used are:
"Advanced MFC Programming.pdf"
"Learn the MFC C++ Classes.pdf"
"SAMS teachs you VC++60 Unleashed" (web site)
"Aprenda C++ como si estuviera en 1°.pdf" (from Universidad politecnica de navarra - Spain)
But the 3 on english are MFC-Oriented, they are not pure C++. I recommend you to search the "C++ Standard" and take a look on it. It's the best place to know the most important features and how are they to be used.
Greetings.

I got your point though I don't see it is surprising. I know lots of people who know C# [and/or Java] but have no clear understanding of what is C++; they think C++ is hard to learn and to use so why to do hard things when one could earn by 'easy programming'. But I think C++ is great and in any time with any experience if someone has decided to learn it, by no matters it is late.

well, i did find it a little surprising. I believe that most of the people learn programming starting with C/C++, which i still believe is the right approach.

This is the scenario in most of the schools and collages i suppose.

Like everyone said, C# and C++ are very different, you should work through a book even if you know a lot of stuff already.

"I am working on a project that will convert a FORTRAN code to corresponding C++ code.I am not aware of FORTRAN syntax" ( spotted in the C++/CLI forum )

What are your experiences?

Since you are used to programming, i can recommend you the following books (in no order of priority).
The C++ Programming Language - by Bjarne Stroustrup.
C++ - The Complete Reference.
C++ Primer - by Stanley Lippman and Josse Lajoie.
you can use any of the above book to start with.

Nah... i guess its good for beginners and not for someone who already has a programming experience.

Try Koenig/Moo "Accelerated C++" (Teaser here[^])
A little old, but your target isn't moving too fast....
Failure is not an option - it's built right in.
