Regarding C++ : how hard was it for you guys to work with the programming language after finishing school and become proficient?

Question

The time between getting a job where c++ is the main course of the position and becoming proficient in it. What were the main challenges you encountered? How did you get past those? Are you still struggling with any of them? It would be great to share this between ourselves as I believe that this can be a good starting point for everyone who is planning a career in programming. Thank you for reading this.

Answer 1

I actually taught myself C++ as the first language I learned, and I didn't even go to school for coding/computer science. I think the biggest challenge with C++ is reading older codes that were designed and written by C coders, because they use the C++ language in a completely different way than someone who learned C++ without learning C first. This is my personal experience of course, but that has been the biggest challenge for me.
