The most C++ I know is from 5 weeks of 'learning' it in college. Now I've been handed a legacy C++ project from sometime before 2004 and am expected to figure out how it works, update it to either a newer C++ version, and compile it to NOT a 16 bit dll (like the current version is) to replace the one on our servers.

Ummmm... wish me luck

I've done the exact same thing last year. The project I was handed was from 2008 (when the company first started), fairly large but really well written. Main PITA was updating the graphics library calls since the graphics library went through several large architectural changes. Still, since the code was written very well, I could manage to do this in 2 days. I hope you're as lucky as me ! All the best !

Well your knowledge about C++ is bound to increase incredibly.

Good luck!
