C++ is a powerful language and it takes years to learn it in all details.
For learning C++ yourself you will need another book, there are lots out
there. Addison Wesley has published a few...
If you have previous programming experience you may want to read "The C++
Programming Language, 3rd Edition" by Bjarne Stroustrup (ISBN
0-201-88954-4). However, this book already starts on a fair level and you
may want to understand at least C first (The book is also a useful
reference).

In general C++ is simply to complex to explain it in a few sentences (even
only details like type conversions). As a tip I would suggest to start with
something less difficult than a "postscript-2-bezier_spline converter" - get
used to the language first :-)

Just curious: What is better then the official version? Knowing this could
improve the official version...
