How long did it take you guys to learn C++? I actually hope i learn this language in 2 months!

Answer 1

C++ basic level = 1-2 months
C++ advanced level (with some useful library like CURL or Boost) = 6-8 months (if you've a REAL project)
C++ pro level (lots of library, how to create working dll/multithread dll, avoiding deadlock/livelock/threading error/memory leak in a really complex project) = 2-3 years
C++ really pro level (good graphics and statistics, some low level tricks) = 4-5 years

I'm at advanced, probably. I know a really pro guy and ... how i can say ... he knows how to do things that i really cannot describe well. If i do a job in 2 hrs, he can do it in like 5 minutes ... seeing is believing

Answer 10

it has taken me 5 years so far I'm 23 years old now and I'm still struggling with the basic concepts. I understand variables, classes, arrays, still getting the hang of pointers, but a lot of concepts confuse the shit out of me. Usually questions of why/when would you use these things. And how is this thing any different to that?

Answer 11

I'm on my second week of this course and I'm learning fairly quickly. I've found that my basic knowledge of lua REALLY helps with learning c++.

Answer 12

If you already know any language it is pretty easy to learn any other language.
The basics are always the same.
You just have to learn language specific stuff like pointers in c++ etc.
So take your time with your first language it will help you later on.
