C++ Developer Perspectives

Question

Java

Good morning. I work as a system administrator, I want to go to work as juniorom in six months or a year. To do this, I began to study C ++, but after reading the articles on Habré, and the answers here, I begin to doubt the correctness of the choice of language. Are there junior vacancies for C++? And any prospects for a C++ developer? Is it worth learning, or maybe it's not too late to switch to JAVA? thanks in advance

Answer 1

There are, according to QT, at least you can definitely find a junior vacancy. The prospects for a C ++ developer are directly proportional to ambitions, however, like Java and C #, there will definitely be work in the next 30 years and a good job.

Answer 2

It’s worth learning, after the pluses, you can easily switch to something else (on the contrary, it’s more difficult). But, due to the specifics of the use of pluses (software with high performance requirements), knowledge of the language is usually not enough - as a rule, algorithmic and mathematical training is also required.

Answer 3

Find out exactly what you want! Learn it from no one but by asking questions to yourself! It's like asking an admin: "Is it worth learning the security level when using FreeBSD?" the admin's answer is simple to madness: "Why did such a question arise?". That's your pro worth it or not! You always need to build on something specific! Some people think that this way they will earn a lot of dough, and someone thinks that he will sit down and write the best program in the world and get "perfect and respected", someone else thinks something. Decide more precisely What exactly do you want to receive and what exactly is your soul for?

Answer 4

Depending on what exactly you want to program.
Games, websites, robots, corporate applications?

Answer 5

According to my personal experience, C/C++ juniors are not very willing to be hired. On the other hand, if you start with Java or Perl/Python, you will almost certainly never write C++ again.
You are rightly told, decide on the tasks that you would like to do, and take the appropriate language for this. On the topic "where to start" I wrote here once (and there further on the links), it can lead to the right thoughts.
