| C++ is a great language, but it is very outdated and is being phased out by open source OOL languages like Java, Python, C#, etc. Having said this, it would be a good idea to LEARN it. I would recommend learning C or C++ (get a step by step book, it will help you), but honestly, as the years go on, expect to continue learning languages. Like 99% of languages are BASED on C (including C++), so I would emphasize learning that. However, like I mentioned before, I doubt any new programmer will be FORCED to use C++. It is a personal choice as to what language is the 'best', and clearly C++ is outdated. Having said this, it is still very popular. There are mounds of books on programming and computer software. Sometimes the best bet is to go to a college bookstore and search for used books. You can get em cheep! I am not a CS major, but I do know basic programming. It is fun and helpful. Good luck!!
As a side note, VHDL is based on a C syntax, and VHDL is used to program hardware; now THAT is a good language to learn if you are into audio stuff. Look it up |
