Yes, but I'm already past day 21. There are a few msc students in my room who try to learn C++ from a "Teach yourself C++ in 21 one days" book. It has over 900 pages and is just impossible to do in 21 days, and even if you read it all, you still can't do much in C++.
I actually am a programming god in this room (well, almost ;) ). It's good to have something to contribute since all simulation and plotting software is written in C or C++. We use the CERN data visualization tool (ROOT) that I'm learning now (code based). It's created to plot huge amounts of data and amazingly fast compared to other plotters I know (Matlab and Gnuplot).
I almost explained a weird phenomena in our data today. Most agreed that I was right, but I found out I wasn't :(
You having a hard time learning C? :)
