    moving over from C

    Ive been with C for about a year and a half...done most of the stuff..i am quite comfortable with C now.Can someone give me an idea as to how much of C i should be knowing before considering myself to be a decent C programmer? I mean, i dont plan to stop doing C, but i want to start with something like C++ or Java..i already have a background in C++ so i am thinking of moving over to Java..Any other programming languages that i can try before going over to Java?
    Code:
    >+++++++++[<++++++++>-]<.>+++++++[<++++>-]<+.+++++++..+++.[-]>++++++++[<++++>-] <.>+++++++++++[<++++++++>-]<-.--------.+++.------.--------.[-]>++++++++[<++++>- ]<+.[-]++++++++++.

    programming... has nothing to do with the language... what you learn about programming crosses languages... so if you think you're ready to learn something new, learn something new.

    C#, fortran, cobol, assembly, B, D, ... there are quite a few of them.

    yeah, but whatever you do, don't learn COBOL (it's evil)

    neither do i plan to learn COBOL, nor do i plan to learn B,D and fortran...Assembly seems to be quite interesting.

    And it's very useful for integrating into C/C++ and other languages, where needed.
    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

    Its not really all that bad -- just a lot of coding. The language can't be bet for generating reports.

    I think banks still use it a lot, don't know what other institutions do.
