: What got you started on C++?

So, what got you hooked on C++?
I got hooked by an older friend that coded a server monitor for a game. it was really cool and i wanted to do something just like that, hence why im gonna go to college for CS

well I personally think that C++ is very easly to handle the syntax is something that everyone can unerestand with a bit of logic then u have the lybraries which is very complete and besides Ive my C++ book of 1200 pages all mine ! :D

Personally I got started because I initially tried to learn Java and then I found it too slow for my tastes and you can't do somethings you can in C++ and so I learned C++ and then went on to learn other languages as well like C.

For me C++ feels like a must-know language in these days. Not that I am a pro in it, but I know a bit above the basics. :)

I find C++ or C more confusing then VB

Yeah. Simplier syntax.
Going back to the topic, I wanted to code a full RAM explorer, in C. But I think I would need to make a kernel module if I want to have access to the whole memory, so it is on my learn-and-do list.

Every time i read you talking about you're book i lol'd.
Any way xD, c++ is for me a more logical way of programming, its more like c who is actually the base of the most programming structure.
I started out with (batch, don't mention that)   VB.net, but with vb and .net i am sometimes like OMG MICROSOFT, why would you see that as a logical part:P.
Like some ways of including external files, calling objects, and when you go on with c++ its like AAAAH, that feels like you're first ejaculation.
However...   i disagree with the part, "C++ is very easely to handle the syntax is something that everyone can "unerestand" with a bit of logic", because, when i just looked at a c++ code before my programming experiences i was like WTF.
I really needed to get around the logic behind programming these days.
And, i don't feel really motivated to learn more c++ because these days its more about web development it seems.
When i wanted to go to a school who features programming i could only choose between game-dev (maths-c#-actionscript) and web (php-html-asp and so on).
I have chosen for web because i see allot more future in it.

I started teaching myself Perl, learned a fair bit, then learned that my school offered C++ classes, but no Perl classes, so I was like "fuck it, might as well learn c++" so i enrolled in that class and have been working through it since.

probably because the code was terribly written and not well commented.  If code is well commented and well written (indentation, good names, etc.) then it is easy to understand, in my opinion.

Started last summer out of interest.. Also took 2 classes so far at University and I will get a 3rd one next semester.

It was 1992 and I came across a system where a process that I wanted to {ab}use was written in C++.  I needed to study it to do what I wanted, so I did.

I never started C nor C++. Though I started Delphi on my own, a loooong time ago, when my mind snapped and said - Thou shalt learn Delphi. So I did.

Yes...yes, I agree that you've snapped.

I got introduced to C by a good friend of mine back in 1998, he used to program MUDS, he showed me how the simple things worked and i took it from there, done 3 Courses in C and one in C++, then learn't a little VB and Now Mainly do PHP/C

C is the mother language for me as ANYTHING can be coded with a bit of thought process!

Started learning 3 years ago, before school starts because I wanted to code (I was going to learn C in school, so was getting ahead already), and besides ASM, C/C++ it's the most optimised language, besides it's cross-platform, from there I just studied it for all purposes, security tools, utilities, game hacks, malware, anything basically.

At first i wanted to learn python, but then i found out that at school there was a class on "intro to C++" and i really wanted to learn programmin though CS isnt my major. so i took it  ;) , then after I switched my PC OS from Vista to Linux, and seeing all the source codes, kernel etc etc etc and everything written in C ;) i thought "this is like the base" :) So now i'm taking another class "data structures and algorithms in C++" and its going fine so far.  ;)

I learned C because of Garrys mod (or Expression chip 2)

I started learning c/c++ because it was a requirement for a 1 year course I did last year in programming. Doing a diploma in games development atm.
 
I had been programming for years previous to the course but never really got too deep into it until then.
