Till recently I was under the impression that there is a limited room for learning C\C++. After all, in many cases Java and C# do replace the usage of C\C++ and many new software applications are developed in Java and in C#.
During the last two years I find more and more cases in which knowing C\C++ is more relevant than ever. Those cases aren’t limited for developing the platform itself.
Some of the mobile platforms use C\C++ as their main programming language (Symbian, Bada and MeeGo).
Some of the mobile platforms allow us to use C\C++ for developing native code running on them (Android). In some cases there is no other way but writing this native code.
If you learn programming language don’t under estimate your C\C++ courses. Eventhough it is a relatively old programming language it is still a relevant one.
