From: Anton Zakitniy on 21 Jun 2010 08:43 Hello! Forgive me if my question is stupid and english is not native for me., but it worries me! I'm not very experienced programmer. I really like C + + and I want to become a good programmer. But something that bothers me. Will C + + language is enough demand in the near future? Will it continue to use many, many companies and many, many projects, not only for operating systems and games? I not want to C + + is outdated so soon and C# will take up positions at the C + +. I would be happy to know the answer from a programming guru! I wish you all the best! -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

Not "only" for embedded stuff, but also when I look at desktop OSes I can't see C# (or Java, or Python) replacing it. Also it may actually gain some strength due to more mobile devices. So if you're interested in C++, learn it. cheers, Martin -- [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated. First time posters: Do this! ]

If you know C++ deep enough and dig enough to understand how it works underneath, you will be able to jump from one language to another really easily. It does not make such a big difference whether it is C++, any of its managed equivalent, or a completely different language. Also don't worry C is still around in big companies and widely use the same goes for C++. If you are good at C++ you will be able to jump from one language to another really easily.

I think the consensus is that even though application areas of the languages overlap, there are still applications for which C++ is a good choice. I don't see this changing anytime soon. If you want to be a good programmer you might want to learn more than one programming language anyway. Cheers!

But gaining the required knowledge and experience for companies to consider employing you will be difficult. Most people will tell you to get involved in freeware development, where you can gain valuable experience and plenty of help. Even with my C++ knowledge I find it hard, as I lack experience in multi threading and use of libraries like Boost. So may I wish you every success, which I'm sure, with persistence, will come.
