    Does anyone know this language? Or have taken a class on it?
    How difficult is it to learn? What is one of the basic elements I should familiarize myself with to make C plus plus a lot more easier?

    I studied it in college for a few months but never finished, its not that hard.
    Its probably the most popular programming language for game engines.
    I studied game design.

    Ya I am getting the basic understanding of it but still it's a little tricky and confusing but it seems doable. Just looking for some tips or any advice that can help me.

    C++ isn't too hard to learn. look up how to make a simple calculator and that should get you looking at how code fits together

    Good idea! Imma look into that thanks! What other languages do you know?

    Java, little bit of python, c++, if you want to count html, and i can understand what im looking at with most languages but dont know how to write in em.

    Should be graduating with a degree in Computer Science after next year.

    Oh okay. I experimented with Vitual BASIC but I got lost and gave up. Now, I'm starting with C++ and gonna stick through with it. Besides, I have a class so that should help a lot.

    haven't messed with visual basic any but why'd you pick c++? and yeah classes are a lot better thanjust straight learning off the internet but not impossible

    Why Cpp? Because I need to take it for my major. I've also been interested in coding so that helps so might as well take it. I'm pretty confident that I can learn it. Just have to use different sources besides the book that I bought.

    oh i gotcha. what are you majoring in? lol i would never want to be a programmer. probably the most frustrating job in Comp Sci. and yeah man getting the basics down isn't bad... it's when you want to start making your own programs that it gets tricky depending on difficulty.

    When i transferred to the college i'm at now i received a scholarship to develop android applications with 3 other people and we had never done it before and it was just difficult to be able to put code and xml together but we put something ok together

    I want to go into Mech engineering but maybe minor in Compscience as well. It's just programming is so powerful, you can do some pretty insane things with it. Idk it grabbed my attention and it still has it!

    What did you Guys make?

    We made a simple application that read information from our database about dining halls and we were gonna incorporate the bus system in it but most of our time was spent being lazy/learning Android

    Ahh I see... So why didn't you continue with programming. Seems like you were good since they gave a scholarship to write programs for the school...

    the projects differ semester to semester and i really didn't like the programming. Just gets really frustrating especially when you're new to it and nothing works right and nothing or no one to really help

    Use stackoverflow.com for questions when you get stuck. C++ is one of the hardest languages to learn, after assembly and C. You don't need to know assembly or C unless you're doing embedded programming (microchips). After learning C++ you'll know a lot about computer architecture and learning other languages will be trivial.
