Is it a waste of time to learn C++ now when C# emerges?
I really don't know, that was the reason I posted this topic up,I still confuse what we should devolt our time at? If C is a dying language then so is C++ ! except that C would be dying faster,but C++ is still popular in software development. I think C is only good for software engineering in... -

Hi everyone, Thank you thank you for your input. Yes too many languages to learn - that requires alot of time, we can't do that properly. Even if we try to learn them all but when go for a job they really ask us how many years of experience you have on this and that. You guys like to suggest... -

Making Classes is complulsory in C++ programming
Hi everyone, I wonder that making Classes is compulsory in C++ programming or we just program like C language with C++ syntax? If it is compulsory then everytime defining an array do we have to make Constructor, Destructor and Resize methods according to C++ Object Oriented programming? Thanks...
