Hi,

I understand you are only asking for an opinion on a language but we keep all questions relating to technical issues out of the cafe. I'm moving this post to the Techie Talk forum.

Quick.

Abstract Classes and Pure Virtual Functions.
I wish!

1) It hurt my brain.
2) Hello World.
3) Computer Science major, had already learned Java.
4) fstreams. I had never read/written from a file before - didn't learn that in Java.
5) Still too young.

-> confusing...coming from a Java background to C++ I couldn't get around the idea of using "ClassName::FunctionName()" ...why do we need the "::"'s anyways??

what was your first project, if you remember?
-> a binary calculator

what made you interested in C++?
-> it eventually became the language used in all of my courses at school

what do you like most about C++?
-> hmmm...not sure...maybe its ability to work on multiple platforms.

do you have a job using C++?
-> No but I'd love to.

Dining Philosophers?!
Yes, Dining Philosophers.

Because the only thing Philosophers are good at, is talking and eating.

what made you interested in C++?
-It was what was taught at school.

what do you like most about C++?
-less confusing than Java.

do you have a job using C++?

how was your first experience in C++?
boring (it was a sales conference)

what was your first project, if you remember?
err, straining brain... ping it just melted and leaked out of my ears

what made you interested in C++?
nothing really it's just what came after C

what do you like most about C++?
classes are great for encapsulating data with functionality (which if you came from before the C++ period you would know lack of this encapsulation and lack of discipline caused some horrendous code leading to some really hard to find bugs)
templates are supremely powerful if used correctly (and supremely confusing and dangerous if not)

do you have a job using C++?
sometimes (that is sometimes I use C++ and sometimes I use C, I always have a job)

how was your first experience in C++?
It was complicated and it almost made me quite programming, but I went back to learning Python for a while and came back to C++ and I was fine.

what was your first project, if you remember?
It was a program to figure up Mersenne Primes.

what made you interested in C++?
It was the next step in programming (I thought at least).

what do you like most about C++?
Haven't really learned it enough.

do you have a job using C++?
I'm still a little young.
