How to become a C++ Programmer

Name: Anonymous 2010-09-28 20:35

1. go to www.google.com and search for any C++ book (but end up with wikibooks.org)
2. read the first and the second chapter.
3. understand nothing, but notice that some parts of C++ look alot like C to you.
4. decide to learn C instead, because you think it would help learning C++.
5. spend 4 months on learning C and catching bugs in your first applications.
6. go back to wikibooks, because you think you are ready to learn C++ now.
7. read the third chapter (which is about OOP).
8. understand nothing. complain. connect to irc.freenode.net and join ##c++ and complain more.
9. someone tells you to try haskell instead.
10. go to www.google.com and search for a haskell book (but end up with wikibooks.org).
11. understand nothing.
12. complain.
15. go back to C++.
16. try to read and understand chapter three again. this time, you manage to grasp the very idea of OOP, and you happily start to mash your head agains the keyboard to write your own Enterprise Helloworld Application (which can be bought for only $299).
17. notice templates.
18. try to learn templates.
19. unable to learn templates.
20. complain about templates.
21. complain more about templates.
22. tell everyone C++ is bloated and shit because you still don't understand templates.
23. try to read the fourth chapter.
24. you still don't quite understand what they could be good for, but at least you know now how they work.
25. you start to write a shitload of classes with templates in it, knowing that nobody will ever use them.
26. start calling yourself an experienced programmer.
27. congratulations, you are now a C++ Programmer!
