Sure. I find the education system very straightforward and downright boring, to be frank, being a high school student, however, I am constricted to it on a day-to-day basis.

I love real-world application and so I see coding and development in general as the way forward for me personally - to be honest the whole world of startups.

I'm currently running a start-up company and learning code on the side. I guess the end goal is to be able to develop world-class applications? That's why I want to learn C++.

So lets push this a little farther. What type of "world-class" application? Do you want to do a mobile app, web app, desktop?

C++ is an amazing language, and I use it almost everyday. However, I develop most of my applications with JavaScript, and that includes web, mobile, and desktop applications. I am using C++ in my application with Nodejs for my more computational heavy operations.

The more specific you are, and I know you are excited and have all the wonder in world, but it will allow this community to help you. Best of luck!
