Low-level programming

no its a good language to learn as you said alot of programs use it.

however if it is a first language i do not advise jumping in at this as you might get overwhelmed and then even put off from learning another language. i advise for a beginner (if you are) you start with Java or php or maybe even perl tbh.

Thanks everyone.

As I said I have 3-4 years experience with C#/Java on a high level.

Therefor I still find it somewhat hard to learn C++. Even though I get the basics.

If you ever want/need to write a device driver, then you will have to do it in C/C++.

then i guess its down to you if you want to continue at it in the hopes that it will all come together for you.

it will take a lot of work to get but once you've got it there are many benefits:

create programs
addition to your CV
troubleshoot fix other c++ code
create apps

Albeit C++ is good programming language which I would recommend to all developers to learn but I don't see much use of it going forward as processors are becoming faster and cheaper so performance is not the reason.

Many time-critical or near real-time programs are written in C/C++, especially in embedded systems. It is as you are finding very hard to learn everything in C++. Here's a little tutorial http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ .

Since you know Java/C#, one area that you should examine are containers (like vectors, maps, etc.) ( http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/ ) and algorithm functions that can be used with these containers ( http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/  ). These links have a nice set of simple programs to illustrate many of the points. Some of these may be a bit harder to grasp: functional ( http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/functional/ ).

I recommend that you get Microsoft Visual Studio Express C++ since it provides an excellent debugging environment. Here is the download link:

Oh, a lot of embedded device programming is in C as well because it's possible to write compact code.  This is needed in an environment where resources are limited.

Thank you everybody.

no, thank you for the B grade

I think that ambience's point is that when a grade less than A is given, the typical thing to do is explain what was wrong with the answer(s).
