Are there any resources that are specifically aimed at those transitioning from Java to C++?

Books, tutorials, etc.

Are there any resources that are specifically aimed at those transitioning from Java to C++?
I haven't heard of any. Having used both to some extent, my advice is this: Don't even think of it in those terms! While the syntactical elements are somewhat the same in ways, there are many things that look identical and will get you into a *LOT* of trouble with C++ in a big hurry. Take a deep breath, pick a tutorial or two, and try to learn as if you are learning the language from nothing. Any time you start thinking that "Gee, this is just like Java!", take a break and reset your mindset. It won't be. Pay particular attention to memory management issues, scope and lifetime. These are real problem areas, at least for me when I started.


Advice is free, and well worth it. So are the tutorials at the URLs below. Good luck.
