How much C++ should I learn before being able to land a job?

Question

I am really interested in programming as my future career. I want to know how much, at the minimum, I should know before I am ready to enter the workforce as an entr-level C++ programmer. I would perfer answers in C++ software development, but I wouldn't mind to read about theC++ game developer side. Thank you for your time ^^

Answer 1

Many professional programmers say your learning never ends, even if you become a master, it'll always be something more, something else you could have missed on the way. I restarted learning java from zero a month ago, after 2 years of total freeze. Get the docs you need, books, free tutorials you can find on the net and...code as much as you can. Make your mistakes and try to find out how to improve your code or how to correct the errors you make. Anyway, the language you want to learn depends on wich sector you wish to work on :)

@Nicola Lovato: Thank you for your answer. What I want to know is what type of concepts, or what should I be able to do, to be ready for an entry-level job as a C++ software developer. (You can use other languages, because it could give an understanding of homw much for each language I should know).
