I studied C++ during university days and after that I never got a chance to learn it seriously due to my job commitments as a web developer. I did work on C# but not C++ professionally. I always admired my friends who could write good C or C++ code.
So many times I wish to learn it seriously but these new editors for web development and Python made me lazy enough that I wish to have some environment and way to write and compile C programs easily.
I heard modern C++ is way better than what it was in early 2000. I want to give it a try, hopefully, I will be able to learn and implement Pointers properly.
- Barrin92 8y agoI had the same problem and I decided on start building a few Qt apps for command line tools I had made. This worked quite well for me because it wasn't too complex or large, you tend to write in a 'modern' style (although the downside here is I guess that qt is also somewhat idiosyncratic) and you get a build tools so you don't need to worry much about that.
- pknerd 8y agoI forgot to mention that I did work on Both QT 3.x in the last decade. I liked it because I was working on VB at that time and was dying to find something similar for Linux(Was exploring RH those days). It did not help me to improve C++ though.
- Skunkleton 8y agoI have spent my whole career writing C or C++. While it is true that I write code at a different layer of the stack than is common for languages like C#, I wouldn't say it is particularly admirable. There are intermittent cool things that I get to write in C (data structures, protocol stacks, etc.), but for the most part it is just plumbing. There are lots of cool things that people get to implement higher up the stack too.
