If I learn C++, will I be able to do anything? I mean, what can you do with it?

it's a program that u have to learn, and with it you can create and organize other programs and create many things like games,programs(media players and ...) and other stuff.


when you take the programming course in university\college\High school they'll teach you C++.


good luck

If I learn C++, will I be able to do anything? I mean, what can you do with it?
The better question would be "what can't you do with it?"
Reply:You need to start by asking the question: "I want to do X, what should I learn". Do you want to write games programs? Do you want to write client/server applications utilising SQL? Do you want to make your computer talk? Play music? Do you want an intractive web site? Is this recreational stuff or do you want to make money out of it?





I suggest you visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/expres...


There you can download c++, c#, J#, sql server all for free. Experiment with these free versions. Look at the free sample code. Decide what you want to do then pick the best tool.
Reply:C++ is heavly use in the game programming industry with C as well.





C++ is powerful but extremely difficult to learn and use professionally..





C++ is portable which means it runs on most platforms.





But depending what type of programming you want to do I will not advise C++. C++ takes 5 more time to setup an application than C#. That is the reason why C# was built , not just to replace Java in the long run but to replace C++.





Unless you are invested in heavy game programming learn C# or Ruby.





C# %26amp; Ruby are both the languages in demand and the languages of the future.





Good luck,





Joe.
Reply:Most of the Windows/Mac programs your using on your computer right now have probably been written in C++. Some of the more recent Windows programs might even take advantage of the .NET capabilites that Microsoft have developed, as an extension to C++.





Basically, though, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc are all written in C++. It's just up to your imagination, and your abilites with the language, to define what you can do.
Reply:There is lots you can do with C++. However it is getting quite old now, and I think it is better to learn Microsoft .net programming: C# (C sharp), and aspx web programming, as those skills are equally versatile and are likely to stand you in greater stead for the future.
