- I'll second Ross's advice, but add that you should
- complete your class assignments in BOTH Smalltalk
- and C++.
-
- Doing that will give you a keen appreciation for
- the differences between the two and the strengths
- and weaknesses of both.
-
- You may want to alternate which one you do first.
-
- Of course, this advice assumes that you, like all
- students, have infinite time at your disposal. :)
-
- I'll second Jim's advice as well by adding that
- you should write both the Smalltalk and the C++
- (but especially the C++) in a style appropriate
- for the language. This may require some design
- changes, not just a simple translation.
