Dark Basic vs C++?

Well, im interested in becoming a videogame designer, so i'm taking courses at my school. So far i've worked with games factory (Don't think it helped me much but whatever), dark basic and flash. Dark Basic Pro is what i'm used to working with, but to check what skills are needed to this day most corperations require a knowledge of c++. My question is, is c++ significantly harder than dark basic? Or if im used to programming with this compiler, it'd be a relatively easy transition to c++.

Dark Basic vs C++?
C++ is a lot tougher than Dark Basic BUT, you'll learn and adapt. If you are familiar with programming already its an easy transition. Don't be surprised though when you end up doing a lot of extra things that you didn't have to do before in DB. You have to worry about a lot of things in C++ that Basic programming takes care of for you. The trade off though is that you'll have way more control over the way your program acts, and have more access to the things you need to do, especially for game programming.
