Here's a great post by the one and only Karl Heinz Bucchegger who, sadly,
has been missing lately.

Yes, KHB is absolutely the best there is for beginner questions. No
attitude or pedantry at all; he writes like someone who wasn't born knowing
everything there is to know already built in. His posts are mostly on
alt.comp.lang.l earn.c-c++. I posted his full name so you can find some of
his other gems. And I see now, I managed to misspell it.

Knowing about Karl Heinz Buchegger and Wikipedia should be at the top of
every beginner's toolbox.
