Many students have learned C and C++ in university, so how is the job market for C and C++? Are the salaries high? Today, I will provide a detailed analysis.
Is learning C++ a good choice?
C++ is widely used inbasic software, desktop systems, network communication, audio and video, gaming and entertainment, among many other fields. It is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world.
With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, C/C++ technology has been further promoted and developed in the fields of network communication (mobile networks, the Internet, Zigbee and other dedicated networks), multimedia processing, and intelligent recognition.
According to the latest data from the authoritative language ranking (TIOBE) as of March 2020,C and C++ rankedsecond and fourth respectively on the list.
Why is C language used in embedded development?
We all know that C language is used in embedded development. So why does embedded development choose C language over other languages?
1. From the characteristics of the language
① C language has excellent portability and can run on various software/hardware platforms with different architectures.
② It is concise and compact, using a flexible syntax mechanism, and can directly access hardware. The languages that can directly access hardware include assembly and C language. Assembly is a low-level language that is difficult to accomplish some complex functions, but assembly has higher efficiency in accessing hardware than C language.
Therefore, hardware initialization tasks are generally assigned to assembly, while more complex operations are assigned to C language.
③ C language has very high execution efficiency.
2. The status of C language in embedded development – development tools
3. Low-level language among high-level languages: procedural vs. object-oriented
C/C++ engineers with dual system skills are rarer
Although C/C++ languages are the oldest, they still rank high in the world language rankings. Operating systems, driver software, multimedia software, large-scale games, antivirus software, these are all special areas for C/C++, where other languages cannot compete.
Among many programming languages, C and C++ are the most in-depth technologies, so few institutions can offer C/C++ courses, resulting in C/C++ programmers becoming “scarce” talents in the current software industry.
As the saying goes, “scarcity is valuable,” scarcity is a core competitiveness, and scarcity means many well-paying positions.
Engineers with C/C++ development skills are considered “scarce” talents in the industry, and C/C++ engineers proficient in both Unix and Windows dual system development skills are even rarer!
What industries can you work in after learning C/C++?
Employment Salaries for C/C++ and Embedded Engineers
C/C++ Software Development Engineer
The annual salary for entry-level and mid-level C/C++ software development engineers is currently50,000-150,000 RMB, while senior software engineers can earn up to150,000-300,000 RMB.
The most sought-after C/C++ technical directors or project directors have even higher salaries. The annual salary of C/C++ software engineers is generally 20,000-30,000 RMB higher than that of JAVA software engineers and .NET software engineers.Embedded development engineer salariesAccording to statistics from some authoritative departments, there is currently an annual shortage of about 400,000 embedded software talents in China, and the supply of embedded talents has always been in a state of shortage.With the scarcity of embedded talents, their value naturally increases. It is understood that entry-level embedded developers can generally earn an annual salary of 80,000-100,000 RMB, while those with more than three years of experience earn over 100,000 RMB, and senior embedded engineers with ten years of experience earn over 300,000 RMB.
Beijing embedded engineers’ salary: 17,340 RMB, March 2020Not only are the salaries considerable, but the working environment and development prospects for embedded talents also have advantages.
Advantages of Daren’s C++ Enterprise Application Course
1. Solidify C++ fundamentals:
C/C++ has gone through decades of development, and the technology has become quite mature and stable, with many practitioners and applications in various fields. Each enterprise has different focuses, and only programmers with a solid C/C++ foundation can adapt to changes.
Daren’s C/C++ course system is the best in the industry, and students will learn in-depth about procedural programming, object-oriented programming, containers, data structures, core algorithms, system-level development, multi-process, multi-threading, databases, and exception handling;
Moreover, Daren’s C/C++ course system also includes content on HTML and JS, enabling students to become full-stack engineers who meet the real needs of enterprises.
2. Master Linux operating system:
Linux is currently the most widely used server operating system, and the main part of Daren’s C/C++ course is completed in the Ubuntu environment, allowing students to become Linux C developers or Linux C++ developers.
3. Master Windows operating system:
Windows is currently the most widely used operating system for personal PC users, and the final stage of Daren’s C/C++ course is completed in the Windows environment, enabling students to become Windows C developers or Windows C++ developers.
4. In-depth study of database technology:
Currently, all industries in IT are completely dependent on database technology. In any large or medium-sized project, the quality of database design will directly affect the efficiency of project code accessing the database, which directly determines the success or failure of the project.Daren’s C/C++ database technology includes the current mainstream Oracle and MySQL, with in-depth content. In addition to database architecture and SQL statements, there is also significant reinforcement in database design and SQL statement optimization.
5. Understanding hacker attack and defense technology:
With the application and popularization of computer systems and the Internet, the entire society’s dependence on the network will increase, and the demand for network security will also grow accordingly, and talents with knowledge and skills in network security will become the objects of competition in the entire Internet information industry.
This also provides an incredibly broad development space and countless job opportunities for talents who master related technologies. Therefore, Daren’s C++ course includes more than ten topics on hacker attack and defense technology, covering the main fields and directions of current network security research and development, while also considering the advancement and foresight of technology. To enhance students’ practical skills, each topic includes comprehensive case code implementations.
In summary, graduates of Daren’s C/C++ program have a complete knowledge structure and truly possess the skills required for enterprise-level development, achieving high salaries.
