Let’s face it: C++ is not an easy language to learn. Mastering the basics of C++ means you’ve developed some strong skills.
First, learn the basics of object-oriented programming; also know data structures and algorithms inside and out. For example, know how to build a linked list, even though you’ll probably use one that’s part of an existing library.
Mastered those? Here are some more items:
Learn what stack variables are and how objects can be allocated on the heap; take this to the next level and understand that when you call new, you will typically store a pointer to the object in a variable; the object lives in the heap and the variable lives on the stack. Learn if and when these variables go out of scope. Why is this important? If you return the address of a local variable, you’re going to (a) create bugs and (b) anger other programmers.
Learn how references truly work, and how they’re different from pointers. Understand how variables are passed in functions, and about passing an entire structure versus passing a pointer to a structure into a function.
Learn how arrays get allocated with new and delete, and how to create an array that you can safely return from a function.
Got a handle on all of the above? You’re doing well. Here are a few new things to learn:
Virtual methods
Virtual destructors
Operator overloading
How templates work (functions, classes, and instantiation)
Correct syntax
The standard library, as well as Boost (practice them both)
Spend time with professional code such as some of the bigger open-source C++ projects on GitHub. This will allow you to “learn from the masters,” so to speak.
Here’s some insight into how many senior developers view entry-level developers: Most aren’t patient with them. They expect the entry-level developers to be so good at coding that they’ll move up to the senior level quickly. Senior-level developers do not want to hand-hold entry-level developers.
In other words, if you start a C++ job and ask a senior developer what a reference is, the senior-level developer is going to get angry. It’s not that they’re angry people in general; it’s just that they have a job to do… and that job isn’t to teach programming. While they don’t expect entry-level developers to make architectural decisions, they do expect them to be strong, competent coders; they’re also impressed when entry-level developers quickly learn what they need to know and barrel forward on their own.
