A classic programming language, sitting above the assembly level languages, C++ got developed around 40 years ago. Bjarne Stroustrup, a Ph.D. student at the University of Cambridge, first called it C with Classes. It was the first language that combined ease of writing programs at a high level, that still talked to the system as an assembly level language. In the current world, C++ usage can be found in the most complex and intrinsic systems of computing such as Operating Systems, Microcontrollers, Browsers, Video Games and numerous other places.

Job Opportunities

True C++ programmers are increasingly getting rarer. More new programmers start with more popular and easy to learn programming languages such as Javascript, PHP, Python, web development among many others. However, even after 40 years of existence, the need for C++ programming skills remain strong as ever. A quick look at the Tiobe index would show you how C++ is still one of the top 5 languages in March 2019
