Guess what? 2 months after buying my book and taking advantage of my free software developer mentoring, he got the first programming job he interviewed for on the spot, after being out of work for 2 years!

So, why couldn’t a C/C++ computer programmer with real world industry experience and a college degree get a programming job in the middle of the hi-tech boom of 2007?

The simple reason why C++ programmers can’t get a job is that the C++ programming language is not suited for business or web applications development.

But, wait a minute, isn’t C/C++ also one of the fastest programming languages?

Yes C++ is one of the fastest programming languages. But the speed of C++ applies to the speed with which it executes on a computer and not to the speed with which you can code or develop software programs.

STOP! Think about what I just said. Don’t just read it, digest my last statement until you really comprehend it.

C/C++ is the wrong programming language for business or web programming because employers care more about the speed with which you code or develop software and care less about the speed at which your software program executes.

So, why don’t employers care about the speed of execution of C++ programs?

The reason is that the recent dramatic increases in computer processing speed and memory has made the personal computer faster and much more powerful. So, the amount of processing power available on most personal computers makes the execution speed of any programming language sufficient for most business software development projects.

Then, what do employers really care about?

Employers really want their software developers to code or write programs faster. And C/C++ fares badly at this, because it’s one of the meanest, hardest, most complex programming languages to either learn or develop real-world business applications with. The problems of C/C++ does not stop with the difficulty of learning the language. It’s also harder, tougher and slower to develop web or business applications in.

This is the real reason why most employers will not hire C/C++ programmers for business or web application development.

Am I saying that C/C+ is dead?

Certainly not. C/C++ is best suited for software projects like writing operating systems, compilers, computer or video games, data mining applications, scientific applications or applications where the execution speed is critical.

Stop for a moment now and answer this question: do you really want to make money from programming computers quickly or easily?

If you answered yes, I recommend you go into an area of computer programming where the demand is hot and where there are lots and lots of jobs.

That area right now is in internet or web application programming which C++ is unfortunately not suited for.

Secondly, if you want to success in web or business applications development, learn a programming language which allows you to quickly create programs that meet business needs.

After 13 years, I realize that employers don’t care about the beauty of the C++ programming language. Employers care about automating their business processes or making their businesses work better, quicker and faster. Employers also want to hire programmers whose speed of development matches or outpaces their business operations. The ugly truth is that C/C++ is not the right tool for achieving either of these results.

Dear friend, get a copy of my book now and learn those programming languages that excel at creating business software applications easily and quickly and you will discover success in computer programming quickly and easily.

Finally, if you are a programmer needing help with your career, no matter how bad your situation is, get a copy of my book and I will personally mentor you and show you how to achieve success in your situation.
