|
|
Hi guys. I'm sure this forum section is tired of me by now. I been trying to learn C++ for a while, (but i sorta give up here and there ) and still cannot learn. The main problem is that i need ideas of things to code, but i don't know what im suppost to know to code these things which ive yet to find. ( ) Basically, im not sure what to code for practice, and half the things i'd like to code i dont know where to start. My interests are making applications and i plan on making things related to that because that's what I enjoy. I was told c# was better for applications and that extent so....... should I stick with cpp and just struggle through learning and maybe make some apps that I want to make or switch to c#. IMO, since i want to get a job in programming, cpp seems more useful for the corporate world but i could be wrong. ^ Multi part thread
Please post pros cons to switching, benefits etc, and if i chose to stay C++ then something that could really help me learn would be great. (I have like 3 cpp books and 1 of them is really good but the only problem is i have no idea what to code to practice the knoweldge im learning.)
P.S 1more thing ;P for those of you who are "experts" in cpp, how did u get where u are today? I think one of the biggest problems is not organizing and writing code, but physically what ur suppost to write to make something happen. If u'd like post how you "find?" these things and whats the best way to approach making a program when u have no idea where to start
Thank- you

I'm not going to refer to your vs question, since it only brings spam and arguments.
As for learning CPP, if you have no things to code, just keep reading.
I usually come up with a project while reading books.

| I want to creat applications for different purpose. In general because I haven't decided exactly what specifically. I plan to make my own web browser, an antivirus program/scanner, and other things but overall im not sure exactly what. I might make some simple games with basic graphics but nothing to advance. I liek games but coding them doesn't interest me :O

C is not stable at all if you are not a proficient programmer. Memory leaks, invalid pointer dereferencing and others can occur at any time. C shines at runtime performance and flexibility.
