Is it worth to learn C++ ??

I'm not kidding; I see that most of job requests are about using software, not programming, so I wonder if it's worth to learn a difficult language and MFC and so on when everybody ask for SQL or ASP and so on. Thanks for your answers. Erminio
Look at the job market. Bottom end web design is a script kiddie market, no real living to make there. So how large are the top end web and C++ markets ? Elaine The tigress is here :-D

Just ask yourself, why would games be written in C++ ? The true answer to your post is, It depends on what you want to program... You won't program true artificial intelligence in c++ You won't program web in c++ either... But C++ is certainly the language prefered by many for many reasons. Either you learn Java or C++ if you wan't a real knowledge base of programming. yep that's right...

How is this a good thing? It's quite buggy.

Ok, I'm sure you are correct that C++ was the basis for Dreamweaver, however I think that is a little harsh to say that it couldn't be done in C# (an example[^] ).

the answer is YES, although some job listings aren't for programming, there are a great deal out there, if you look. and learning C++ will give you a big jump on programming and other computer realted fields.hope you continue to study C++, i'm only 14 and i love it and i'm really good and it might sound wierd but i was asked to make some small company a program, and i was payed pretty well considering how simple the program was!:-D
