Here's my N1.25kobo rant:
======================


Yes it is. Its a fantastic language. Virtually all major services you use daily has some C++ code sitting somewhere. From your internet systems, routers, web-services, down to your computing device.


C++ doesn't give you performance as people claim. However, it gives you unfettered control over performance. So a badly written C++ will not be fast, period.
However, a well crafted and highly fine tuned C++ program on a latest aggressively optimizing compiler is likely to produce the best you could get in terms of raw runtime performance.


- You will learn about absolute performance
- You will learn about the Computer Architecture
- You will learn how the CPU works
- You will learn how to align code to memory lines
- You will learn what makes Intel Core i3 7th generation series better than Intel Core i7 2nd generation
- You will learn how the OS interacts with your programs.
- You will learn to think forward
- You will learn to take responsibility


None. There's no entry barrier.


It's one of the most powerful languages out there with some complexities that will take a while (a year or two) to master a lot of it.
With enormous power comes a lot of responsibility, so, over the course of your career, you'll learn a lot of interesting stuff that will put you ahead of other programmers in terms of designing and implementing Performance-critical Systems.


You can learn most parts of it within a year.

If you are a novice to programming, you can start writing beautiful, elegant, scalable, maintainable infrastructure with it after about two years. As you would find in Google, Facebook, etc.

Pro level expertise, about 4 years or more, from novice.

Note, don't let this scare you off. Everyone that tells you he is a master of XYZ language after less than 2 years of lifetime programming experience is a liar. Programming is both Technical and Artistic. It takes years to develop a good combo of those skills.

Note the emphasis on "lifetime" above. I am talking about new programmers.


The most prestigious programming contest in the world, the ACM-ICPC (Association of Computing Machinery - International Collegiate of Programming Contests) uses C++ as one of its two official languages.

Given that you are in school now, you are eligible to participate. http://icpc.baylor.edu ..Do every thing you can to participate, you'll enjoy it.

Learning the language isn't enough. You will also need to improve your problem solving skills. Algorithm, Data Structures, System Design. These can mostly be obtained by practicing problems on Hackerrank, LeetCode, etc. Or simply participating in ACM-ICPC a few times.


I strongly advice you to stick with the ones here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list Those have been curated by world class experts and some have the blessings from the who-is-who in the C++ world. Including my little blessings...lol.


C++ has been existing in the industry for more than 30 years now. And has several billions of lines of Code working out there.
It has also undergone growth. It evolves every 3 years now. And each evolution gets better, faster, and more modern. No matter what book or resource you pick, make sure it was produced/released of written after the year 2010.

- We have an amazing version of the language known as C++11. Standardized in 2011
- We have a nicer version which I currently use for new projects, C++14. Standardized in 2014
- We have an upcoming one called C++17. To be standardized in few months time.
- We will have another by 2020. And so on...

It gets faster, better, and more beautiful each time.

In C++, you only pay for what you use. The language never incurs any penalty on features or stuff you didn't use.


After you've gone through months following introductry texts and undergone some personal projects.
You want to attempt answering questions on Stackoverflow.

But still, you can go ahead and watch the video coverage of the proceedings from renowned C++ conferences such as: CppCon, CppNow, BoostCon, ACCU, MeetingCpp, NDC talks ...PS: You can search those on Youtube.


If you are lazy and hate challenges, and if you easily get depressed.

Thanks a bunch man... This is pretty fucking Amazing.

phililp:
the truth is if u already have a good knowledge of any programming language then u will definitely find c plul plus a lot easier...

but if it is ur first programming language then it might just be a brain f**k

well, I started out with Qbasic and then Java...Guess I already have a good knowledge of programming

bet9ja:
People find C++ difficult but I must tell u the truth, it is more easier than any programming languages you see out there. I am taking the class right now with UNISA and I can testify.
That said, I suggest you take a brief study with edx on introduction to C++ before your main class as this will help you to stay ahead of class.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

Int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!">> endl;
}

Thanks a lot...

Hello, guys, this is my first post in this section and I really hope that this thread will get the attention it deserves. OK, I am a second-year student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, currently studying Computer Science and this semester we're supposed to have a course on C++ programming language. I know there are nairalanders who are proficient and well accustomed to the language, I want to know if the language is worth learning, and if it is, how difficult it is to learn because I really want to improve my coding and I think that the language will be worth my time and effort.

Over to you guys, what's your take??

This actually means that the website has gone from online to online and offline.
This car will actually be used to convey the staff of naijaloaded to anywhere they are going on official duty..

We wish naijaloaded the best on their new car.

http://www.kingingonline.com/2016/04/pastor-caught-dating-young-daughter-of.html?

Although he is denying it, this pastor has been accused of sleeping with several female members in his congregation.

He stands in front of his congregation, preaching the Word of God and encouraging them to follow the Lord’s will.

But female members of his flock at Richmond Farm in KwaZulu-Natal, claim that after preaching, Pastor Mxolisi “Striker” Shange, 33, changes into Casanova.

This comes after 10 young girls from the church alleged the Tower of Faith Ministry International pastor has been having secret love affairs with them.

Members of the congregation told Daily Sun they couldn’t believe the man they trusted with their salvation has been busy dating their daughters.

The married pastor’s dirty secret was first revealed when two young girls fought over him a month ago.

A church member said she heard that the girls discovered through a friend that the pastor had been seeing both of them at the same time.

“One of the girls confronted the other and they got into big fight.”

The news spread and other girls allegedly came forward, claiming the pastor had also being seeing them, begging for their love.

The 10 girls claimed that the pastor’s advances began soon after the church was started two years ago. The church member said she decided to speak to other women from the church after her 22-year-old daughter told her she too had been involved with the pastor.

The women decided to confront the man at his house.

“He did not deny dating the girls. He admitted it in front of his wife. We have decided to leave his church for good,” she claimed.

A 22-year-old lady who dated him in the church said the pastor was very romantic.

“He bought me gifts and took me out for lunch. He promised to take care of me and said I would be his second wife. I broke up with him after I found out he had another girlfriend,” she said.

33-year-old Pastor Shange denied the allegations, but said they did not surprise him.

“I have been called a bad pastor by people who are against the good work that I do. Local pastors are jealous of my church because it’s always full. They’re spreading lies to lure my members away,” the pastor claimed.

His wife Samkelisiwe, 25, said she was aware of the allegations. “But I trust my husband,” she said.

http://www.kingingonline.com/2016/04/hoe-waec-plans-to-stop-examination.html?m=1

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says it is set to introduce a device that will henceforth check collusion during its examinations across the country.

The council’s Head, Media and Information, Damianus Ojijeogu said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Lagos.

He said that during the 2014/2015 examination, it was discovered that collusion was gradually replacing other previous forms of malpractices recorded by the council including impersonation.

“We are planning to introduce software called Item Differential Programme. This device is one that would assist in detecting collusion in any given examination.

“The introduction of the device is based on the high level of collusion that we discovered during the 2014/2015 examination.

“The device will be able to detect if candidates have jointly answered a particular multiple choice question, which we refer to as “item”.

“For instance, if out of 100 candidates, 80 per cent of them go for a particular item which might be wrong as their answer, the device will immediately flag such item and aggregate the candidates,” he explained.

Ojijeogu noted that the device, if approved by council, might be introduced at its 2016 November/December diet of the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for private candidates.

He, however, said if it was unable to introduce it during the examination in November, it would do that during the 2017 May/June diet of the WASSCE.

According to him, the council is already doing trial run and fine tuning the device.

He said that the device was first used by the Kenyan Examinations Council, followed by that of Ghana. (NAN)

[color=#770077][/color]Please, am aiming to secure admission this year but physics is proving an obstacle. Any interested Nairalander to tutor me??

I am a young guy of 20yrs but I have this problem that I cannot seem to overcome. I love football,I love playing especially but it turns out that each time I step onto the pitch, I barely last 5 minutes before my breathing becomes ragged, I become tired, my mouth goes dry and my chest burns seriously. I have resorted to just watching my friends play to avoid embarassing myself and maybe prevent any other health disorder. Please guys, what can I do to help my situation?

Wtf

Exam didn't even commence on the 9th. One fears another postponement

I saw in this year's jamb syllabus that use of english is marked over 150 so I got confused as to how the overall exam is marked.

Does anyone have any idea

So Wetin Mk I come do Mtcheew

Geo what?
I did Comp Science, n i beliv Computer Science gives u more opportunities as far as naija is concerned.

How good is the course.... Did u enjoy it??

I registered my 2015 utme last week and I applied Computer Science as my first option but I am still skeptical as I don't know how rewarding or lucrative the course is in the long run. My elder brother has been on my neck to change to geology but whatcha think fellas

adanduka:
If you have money in your pocket, you're carrying pictures of deceased people around and even giving it as offering in church; which in my opinion is way worse than only hanging them on walls

There is no wright or wrong in it. Its your choice,your MEAT is another man POISON.

Duly noted.

I visited my extended family in the village and I couldn't help but notice the frames of my deceased grandparents(RIP) still hanging in our living room. I thought it was strange but what do you think guys??

What is YouWiN!?
YouWiN! stands for Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria. It is an innovative business plan competition aimed at job creation by encouraging and supporting aspiring entrepreneurial youth in Nigeria to develop and execute business ideas.
