title: C++ tutorial for experienced C programmer
body: <p>I have been programming exclusively in C for 25 years but have never used C++. I now need to learn the basics of C++ programming. Can anyone recommend an online tutorial (or failing that a book) that would be most suitable for me.
  Thanks.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I actually needed the C++ purely for the purposes of adding a couple of dirty hacks to a <strong>huge</strong> and old C program. Converting the entire program in to properly written OO code is entirely economically unfeasible. Some people have criticized the suggested solutions based on the fact that they will lead me down the path of becoming a "C programmer who knows some C++ without getting in to the proper spirit of C++" - but actually that fits my requirements perfectly.</p>
