I was hoping I could give you an idea where I stand with programming in C++ and where I want to go and see what the community programmers would do or path they would take as I am at a crossroads/stand still.
I really enjoy programming, and have been doing so for my company in some higher level languages and scripts for the last year or more, doing fairly easy rudimentary programming (I would think so compared to some of the heavy large scale programs entail)
However, I have taken the opportunity to learn C++ and know that it is allot tougher, but I feel having spent the last number of months trudging through some books and teaching myself that I can learn this with just time and effort.
My question to everyone is that I really want to become profecient in C++ at the profession level, but as well become a programmer with a well defined practice of proper standards and good programming edicate. I am more and more coming to find out that programming is not about the language it is how you define, design, and the practices of programming used in your program that defines a programmer. I am think that writing my own program would be my next move. But would it? The funny thing is that I don't have some elaborate idea for a program.
Therefore, if you were in my shoes, had just a very basic understanding of C++, what would be your next move? Where would you go next with learning C++ to an extensive level?
If you have been so kind to read through this whole post, thank you kindly. Please be as detailed and if I didn't give you a peice of information, or wasn't detailed enough, please just assume and lay it out of what your next move(s) would be.
Thanks so kindly.
