I'm watching this extremely mundane C++ video on Lynda, and I'm wondering to myself. How big is the job market for those who can program in C++ or is it deprecated? I am a master at Java and personally I think that Java is an extremely elegant language, but that's just me. Thoughts?

Man, I was up until 6am yesterday morning trying to configure this shit. Was just pissed off.

I'd like to get some real input from those who actually have finished college.
You're a java master and you can't fucking compile?

Also, java is babby language.

nice meme

So sorry if you think my opinions are memes.
While the syntax is quite odd, I was able to get a simple trip calculator running. I think I'll make a bmi calculator tomorrow. Not too bad

I'd call the mods but you are a smart kid. Also, being honest on 4chan about your age will not get you anywhere (except B&)

>C and C++ are the foundations of programming
hello there kiddo. C++ is not 'the foudnations of programming'. C might be, but C++ is nothing but a layer of functionality on top of C (and a shitty object-oriented model also built on an essentially procedural language). C++ is just C on steroids and there is nothing essential to programming in it.
inb4 C and C++ are different languages. If you actually believe this then you know only C and C++.
To answer your question OP: if you already master java as you claim, then it's time to learn a new language. C++ is closer to java than anything else you might find (shitty procedural based object orientation, static declarative typing, very similar syntax) with some stuff to add to your repertoire (actual handling of memory instead of Garbage Collection, a lower level understanding of the machine) without causing too much of a cultural shock.
As of market share, I understand it's still somewhat widely used, mostly in the game industry but also in many other desktop applications and the like. I'll make an educated guess and say that almost any major desktop application not written in java is probably written in sepples.

>Blaming the language for your shitty programming skills
And here I am learning COBOL. I hope COBOL would adopt more advanced features from FOTRAN as well as adopting advanced statistics-related theories, methods for organizing statistics, anything pertaining to library science and financial mathematics.

you need your head checked senpai
there's more jobs going these days for c# and web meme languages but c++ is still useful to know

Java will be eventually obsolete, bro.
>eclipse
There are still people using this garbage?
>>54664060
Eclipse is still good for a research and development environment, but the same can also be said for java.

Lel at everyone falling for this bait
