Request for a C++ Edition #42
Comments
I think this is meant for people who aren't going for college degrees. C++ is a terrible way to go if you're self taught; especially since most self-taught people are looking for jobs. Even a simple calculator in C/C++ requires a little bit more esoteric knowledge than in say Python. Then again; the same can be said about Java. |
I'm not sure C or C++ are the best ways to learn Computer Science. For instance, if were to learn Scheme as your first language you might be able to write a compiler for it in a few months. Learning the tools to use Yacc and whatever else can take a long time. Overall, if you understand those low level concepts mixed with high level programming picking up C and C++ won't be that much of a challenge, but if you try to learn C first you might get seriously demotivated because it's not an easy and fun language. C is simple but you have to make everything yourself and the compiler won't help you when you mess up. C++ is complicated but with the same caveats. I don't think either make for really good beginner material but that's just my humble opinion as a beginner myself. |
Almost all colleges in India and some other countries focus on C/C++ as the primary programming language. I myself am a student of one of such Institute which focuses on C++ and C as the primary language of choice for beginners. Can anyone contribute or prepare similar list for C++. This will be really helpful for a huge number of students. Thank you all in advance.
