Application of Programming

Hello everyone,

I am attempting to teach myself programming and am at a bit of a loss as to who to apply any of what I am learning. I read through books and they teach the theory of the code, but I fail to grasp its actual application. I would like to code professionally but I have no concept of what it actually entails.

I am a "hands on" type of learner and come to you all looking for some guidance as to how to develop into a diverse and skilled programmer. Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated.

bottom line is that C99 is just adding C++ features into C, so just use C++, and Herb Sutter is both on the C++ standards committee and on the C++ compiler team at microsoft

no one wants your pathetic C99, troll somewhere else
