Way further. C++ or...?

Question

Programming

I ask for advice or just reasoning. Finished the 1st course, studied C++ at the level of desktop applications under Win32. And now for a month I can not decide what to do? Keep pushing C++ (interesting gamedev) or give up and take something new and go in that direction. Therefore, I ask for an opinion: to study in depth the advantages or take something new? If the first, what would you advise, because I myself do not know at all. If the latter, then again, in which industry and why. I myself thought about taking on the web (js, css, php), because I read that the pros "lose their relevance", and I looked at the vacancies) But is there any sense in this now (after the pros then). In general, I hope that at least a little delved, I look forward to discussions.

Answer 1

At the university you have to learn how to program. Syntax is secondary. If you learn this, then it will not be difficult for you to switch to another language. Rushing from one extreme to another is more expensive. Do everything for the university, and in your free time try other technologies.
- No one will give you an answer "which is better", there is no such thing. Try everything that interests you and tell yourself what is best for you.
Otherwise, read articles on the Internet comparing different languages. But again, with holivars, in fact, ayos is an android. If you are interested in this, then there is a sea of ​​\u200b\u200bthem on the Internet and another bucket on top

Answer 2

because I read that the pros "lose relevance",

What does it mean to lose relevance? All this web of yours is on the plus side and works (well, also on C): browsers, databases, hipster frameworks like node js, etc. Yes, it’s not profitable to stamp shitty sites in C ++, and no one does that, of course.
Looked in the wrong place) Look here linkedin.com
And on the topic, learn programming. If you like gamedev, try unity and unreal.
UPD:

Completed the 1st course, studied C++ at the level of desktop applications under Win32

Talk is cheap. Show me the code. (c)
Many of us at uni had a C++ level of C with iostream, even without classes. And "the level of desktop applications under Win32" is also not an indicator.

Answer 3

If you really have studied the advantages at the desktop level for a year, then you don’t need anyone’s advice here ... you are just a super specialist.

Answer 4

If you started learning C++, then why bother? Once started, then learn both the language and the STL and Boost libraries. I once started with c ++, and then switched to c # without any problems, although I could just as well in Java, but it happened historically. Even now, sometimes you have to deal with Java and it does not cause difficulties if you know how it works.

Answer 5

Well, learn to write programs for a change. Useful in life.
