First, Merry Christmas. I have been doing intensive Java programming for two years in school
(no choice on the language), but now I need to return to C++ because my resume is filled with
it both in Windows and Unix and I need work because I am graduating in a few months.
Instead of just reading books to refresh my memory, I'm going to build a large (4 month)
project that encompasses all the C++ material. I think this is a better way of learning and
you can use it on your resume. Do you experts agree, or should I stick with the books?
Secondly, looking at hotjobs, dice, etc.., there seems to be 3 camps for C++ programmers. 1)
The unix camp. 2) the Win 32 camp. 3) the .NET camp. Which one of these camps do you
recommend developing an application for because there is no time to develop the application
for all 3. And if it is the Unix camp, which version is the most popular? And should I avoid
the libraries that are only available one platform?
Finally, any tips for passing the job interview concerning C++? My last job lasted 6 years
and I have been in school for 2 so it's been a while since I had to interview for a job.
Any help from the experts would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
