Someone once told me:
"'C' lets you hang yourself. 'C++' gives you the rope and gallows..." :)

(Seriously - have fun. I enjoyed developing in C++)

Doing C++ in uni atm. It is very picky but I've learn to love it as much when I was learning Java.

some dude said:
If C gives you enough rope to hang yourself, think of Subversion as a sort of rope storage facility

You could give the following 2-volume introduction a try. If you don't want to buy a book, these two books are available for free download:

C++ is my favorite language to program in (although I use a large number of languages in my research). I love the ability to write relatively low-level code in C++ that runs extremely fast when I am investigating a problem.

Sometimes it is preferable to explore a problem in a higher-level language and then come back to C++ when speed is necessary and the problem is well-understood. These are just my own two cents....
