C++ has stronger typing, numerous novelty features, and features for making
object-oriented programming easier.

It makes object-oriented programming somewhat more natural. It also gets
around some of the more annoying limitations of C, even if you don't plan
on using the object-oriented features.

Go to a bookstore, and pick up a book that's your speed and style. There
are a fair number of them now, so it should be possible to get one you
like. I don't know of any freely available tutorials, however.
