Message Name: C++ for assistant traders?

Message: I'm going to be starting out as an assistant trader this summer (probably for options or other derivatives, but not sure yet) I had that I knew C++ on my resume, and one of my interviewers mentioned that he liked that during an interview. But, to be completely honest, I took a course in it my sophomore year and haven't looked at it since. Now that my start date is approaching I'm a little nervous that my C++ skills are rustier than I might have let on during my interviews. How much programming do assistant traders actually do? The firm I'll be working for is known to be more analytical than most. Also, does anyone have any ideas on what to do to maybe practice the kind of programs that they write (if any). Or any books that would be a good refresher
