What I wished I knew when learning C(jennyjams.net) |
A few years after that, C++ became the new hotness. The shop I was working at adopted C++ immediately - even though we weren't doing any object-oriented programming and had no intention of doing so anytime in the near future. It was simply a better C. I wrote very little pure C after that.
As far as learning C/C++ today? Only for systems programming, embedded systems, and maybe games. I wouldn't write an application in either language. The goal is, and has always been, to use the highest-level language you can that still has the performance you need.
