Hello. I recently started learning C++ starting at September(This year). Throughout the months leading up to today, I have a basic understanding of:
-Operators
-Loops
-Arrays
-Functions
-Reference variables
-Pointers
-Classes
-Polymorphism
-Templates (very, very little)
-Exceptions
-Namespaces
-Vectors and lists
I was wondering, if I keep learning at this rate, how long will it take before I am considered a "Programmer"? Also, can you please state all of the topics in C++, from beginner to advanced. Thank you!
how long will it take before I am considered a "Programmer"?
How long will it take before you realise that knowing a language doesn't make you a programmer? It's a bit flippant and not meant to put you off or anything...and some others might see it differently but it's like knowing how to write English doesn't make you an author.
So, when you can see and understand a problem, formulate a solution and want to express that solution in code, then you are a programmer.
