Adventures in C++ and Object-Oriented Programming

After mastering the basics with Pascal, I dived into the world of C++. It was a huge leap, introducing me to the complexities of memory management and the power of object-oriented programming. I remember the long nights debugging pointers and the satisfaction of finally getting a complex program to compile and run. C++ was the language that opened my eyes to the performance and control that was possible, and it laid the groundwork for much of my later career.
