Thread: C++ programmer as my career.

It's only the first language that's conceptually demanding. It's only differences in syntax, really.

Sorry, I should had phrased myself right. C++ will be my first and then I will continue to learn the others. I'm just focusing on C++ until I have a extremely high understanding of it and then I will continue on to learning the others which are more likely to be used in business.

Thank you, after I finish school I was planning to move onto University or college.


@Slash112 Thank you, I will download when I can because my brother lives for his games and will make him lag and complain.

@Phion Thank you, I'm going to download the books in a second.

Thanks everyone
