I liken learning C++ as a newbie to using a chainsaw to slice a pizza: it's not going to be pretty no matter how you do it and you might as well chug down the whole thing. It's always important to pick the right tool for the job, and when you are trying to get into the programmer's mindset, it's really easy to miss the forest for the trees. Programming is a wonderful intersection of math, algorithms, creativity, and the messy reality of modern hardware; that's both a curse and a blessing because it means that you have so many ways of looking at it that a beginner might just think that they aren't smart enough, when the reality is just that they are trying to bite more than they can chew. |
