Many people have likely heard various reasons for learning the C++ language from both official and unofficial sources.
If you search on Baidu, you’ll find a lot of information. Just type “C++”, and you’ll definitely get a huge list of results.But you might still not understand why you should learn the C++ language.
What are the direct advantages of learning C++ for you?
Is this screenshot intuitive enough?
Among various programming languages, including C, C++, Java, C#, if we talk about a technology that covers the broadest technical ideas, it would be C++. C++ is the culmination of various technical ideas. Saying that C++ is a superset of C is far from sufficient. C++ encompasses all technical points of C, along with many additional ones. Java and C# are languages with narrower technical ideas, suitable for specific fields. Java is suitable for cross-platform development, while C# is the best language for the .Net framework, and C is suitable for low-level development.
From the perspective of C++’s development trend, C++ has maintained its vitality, constantly expanding, updating, and integrating new ideas.
What is C++ suitable for?
1. Games: Almost all games on the PC platform, such as StarCraft, Warcraft, CS, Age of Empires, KartRider, Legend, World of Warcraft… the list goes on. These are developed using C++. The C++ language is close to the system level and has the fastest execution speed.
2. Office Software Microsoft Office (the Word and Excel you often use): Assembly -> C -> stabilized in C++ Sun Open Office (this might be unknown to many, but those using Linux systems know this office software): partially JAVA (for external interfaces), mainly C++ (open source, source code available for download)
3. Graphics Processing Adobe Photoshop: C++ GIMP: C
4. Websites eBay: Initially C++, then mainly migrated to Java Facebook: C++ and PHP
5. Search Engines Google: Assembly and C++, mainly C++
6. Operating Systems: Windows: Assembly -> C -> C++ Note: There was consideration to use some C# programs in the smartphone operating system (Windows Mobile), such as the soft keyboard, but the programs developed were too slow and could not merge with other modules, ultimately leading to a rewrite in C++.
Linux: C Apple MacOS: mainly C, with some C++. Note: The languages used were quite mixed at first, starting with Assembly and Pascal.
Symbian OS: Assembly, mainly C++ (Nokia phones) Google Android launched in 2008: C language (there are rumors that the operating system was developed in Java, but recently a native C language SDK was released)
7. Graphical Interface Layer Microsoft Windows UI: C++ Apple MacOS UI (Aqua): C++ Gnome (one of the Linux graphical interfaces, Bigfoot): C and C++, mainly C. KDE (Linux graphical interface), C++.
8. Relational Databases Oracle: Assembly, C, C++, Java. Mainly C++. MySQL: C++ IBM DB2: Assembly, C, C++, mainly C. Microsoft SQL Server: Assembly -> C -> C++ IBM Informix: Assembly, C, C++, mainly C. SAP DB/MaxDB: C++
9. Browsers: Microsoft IE: C++ Firefox: C++ Apple Safari: (released in January 2003) C++ Google Chrome: (released in 2008) C++ Opera: C++ (has a significant share on mobile devices)
10. Email Clients Outlook: C++ IBM Lotus Notes: Java Foxmail: Delphi
11. Software Development Integrated Environments/IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio: C++ Note: Isn’t it a bit funny? Visual Studio, developed in C++, is used to develop C++ programs. Eclipse: Java (its graphical interface SWT is based on C/C++) Code::Blocks: C++
12. Compilers Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler: C++ Microsoft Visual Basic Interpreter, Compiler: C++ Microsoft Visual C# Compiler: C++ gcc (GNU C compiler): C javac (Sun Java compiler): Java Perl: C++ PHP: C
13. 3D Engines Microsoft DirectX: C++ OpenGL: C OGRE 3D: C++
14. Web Servers Apache: C and C++, mainly C Microsoft IIS: C++
15. CD/DVD Burning Nero Burning ROM: C++ K3
How to Learn C++ Effectively?
It is well-known that C++ is difficult to learn, but what makes it so challenging? The difficulty of C++ lies not only in its extensive syntax, the semantics behind the syntax, the deep thinking behind the semantics, and the object model behind the deep thinking; C++’s difficulty is also due to the fact that it provides four different programming thinking models.
To learn C++ well, it is essential to master its syntax. For beginners, the broad syntax of C++ can be quite a headache; once you learn this, you might forget something else. At this point, you should continue learning new C++ knowledge. By the time you finish the C++ textbook in your hands, you can revisit the syntax you forgot, and you’ll feel like C++ is quite simple, not as difficult as we initially thought!
By this time, you will be very familiar with C++ syntax. However, you must not think you are now very proficient in C++. As I mentioned at the beginning, although you have shed the title of a beginner, you cannot yet be considered an expert! You only have a general understanding of C++, and there is still a long way to go.
You might ask, what else should I learn?
I have mastered the syntax of C++! Can I start learning Windows programming now? Don’t rush; you have mastered the syntax of C++, but can you write efficient programs with it? Do you understand all the operational mechanisms of C++? Yes, just understanding the syntax of C++ is not enough; your tasks ahead are many, including learning how to use C++ efficiently, such as writing a project…
Of course, earning a high salary requires time to learn. If you can’t wait that long, you can choose a fast learning strategy, such as the free training camp offered by Daren, with director-level instructors guiding you, so you no longer have to worry about thick books!
