Please my boss here.
Am new into C++, and I want to know what I can do with it here in Nigeria.
Please I need a response on this.

Sit down and be ready for thy journey is long and weary.
C++ is what most consider the language of a real software engineer, check sites like stackoverflow, techopedia or quora and you notice a big bulk of software engineers (not baby coders ) are C++ programmers. As a beginner you will struggle with concepts of C++ such as pointers, memory addressing and dynamic memory allocation, templates, etc.. In fact most beginners will find it virtually impossible to write a simple GUI in C++.

Unlike languages such as python and JS (which I consider a mess) most of these languages don't have such abstract concepts as C++ does and don't offer the level of control C++ does.
As a beginner you won't be able to write or design any snarky thing just yet asides say simple CMD applications (which I bet will have a very poor program flow and structure)but overtime with more experience you can really do anything such as write OSes, DSLs, Mobile/Desktop apps, Network protocols, Frameworks, Game engines, even websites if u fancy....
Most modern frameworks,you use are written in C++ or C such as Flutter, etc.
Popular encryption and authentication protocol such as TCP/SSL are implemented in C++, likewise most game engines and browser engine such as google chrome were written in C++. A ton of python libraries and frameworks including those used in AI/ML were written in C++.

So roll up your sleeves and get ready for the task ahead. Don't be discouraged by your friends who you might see writing fanciful nonsense. Being a C++ guru would take years but it pays more than any other.

Thanks boss.
Am really impressed with your words.
Thanks boss

Just try and learn everything from beginning till you reach multiple inheritance very useless concept that c# scrapped.

Well analysed, but calm down which one is fanciful nonsense again, u dey para oo , c++ learning curve is very steep though but worth it.
