Hi Waseem. I think it is always good to pursue a career in software development. Its easy to see that computers are not going to go away. They are just going to get faster, more ubiquitous, and permeate every facet of our lives. By "heights" I have to assume you mean "what are the good times like". Well, when ever I work for several days on a very difficult problem and write hundreds of lines of code, and still my code doesn't work that well that is a pretty low time. But then suddenly I see the solution and write only 20 lines of code that does everything better and faster then my hundreds of lines solution did, that is a pretty great experience. Another high time is when I see my finished product running on some hardware.

I'm not sure what your last question is about where to get software projects, but you can start by going over the tutorials on cplusplus.com.

Hi waseem.
First of all being a mechanical engg with bright prospects why u think of a carrier in software development.
What is wrong is your core business.
If u r getting bore in your line the same might happen to u in IT also after a couple f years years.
Its obviusly true that IT is going to stay here for ages till the human race survives.
But, don't think that life of IT people is so simple.
n Please don't go by the unnecessarily much hypes fanfare of IT related things.

An why u want to follow people blindly, being an engineer u r mature enough to take your carrier decisions.

If intrested try to develop your own software projects

Future reuse of code

by: James Cameron | last post by:

Hi I'm developing a program and the client is worried about future reuse of the code. Say 5, 10, 15 years down the road. This will be a major factor in selecting the development language. Any comments on past experience, research articles, comments on the matter would be much appreciated. I suspect something like C would be the best based on comments I received from the VB news group. Thanks for the help in advance James Cameron

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
