Recently, I finished reading K&R with its, almost all, exercises and examples. I was planning to move to "Accelerated C++" that I came across Axel Schreiner's book OOP with ANSI-C.

I am intrigued and want to learn it. But before investing time in it, I want to know the worth of implementing OOP in C. So that I can decide how much time I must spend on it.

  1. Implementing OOP in C, is it really used? Or its just for mental exercise?
  2. Are their any existing C projects that use OOP?
  3. When it is a good idea to use OOP in C?
  4. Should I invest my time in it?

I think its appropriate that I mention my background here so that you guys can guide me in a better way. I finished C, C++, Java and OOP theory about a year ago, have got a job too. But then Joel's blog and SO made me realize that I lack in a lot many things. So I picked up the books again and start studying them properly.

K&R, Accelerated C++, Algorithm in C++ and some other books are my attempt to to improve my skills. I am not new to OOP.
So what would you suggest?

Thanks for your time.
