Is it necessary to learn c++ fro soft devpt?

No, for the simple reason that a lot of software is


developed in other languages.





That being said, C++ is one of the more common development


languages (C, C++, Java, C#, ...), so (particularly in


certain application areas) not knowing C++ will limit


the projects that you can work on. Of course in *some*


application areas, not knowning Fortran or COBOL will


limit you :-)





My experience has been that once you understand how to


apply algorithms and data structures, as well as


underlying concepts (like object oriented programming),


then you can pick up the details of particularly languages


when needed. C++ is a large language, so it takes quite


a while to really learn it, but someone who knows Java


can usually pick up quite a bit of it pretty quickly.
