Will team treehouse ever teach C++

On twitter they have announced that they will teach C#

C# Basic is coming. Here is the link http://teamtreehouse.com/library/c-basics/upcoming

C++ is very difficult to get into, However you can dominate any other language after learning C++ syntax and understanding how it all comes together. But for right now with C# coming next month I think I see they have plans to slowly move towards C++ especially where Game Development is concerned considering that C++ is the star language in Game Development on much bigger industry standard engines such as Unreal. In the meantime Java is a good competitor to C++ for app development, I would give that a shot if you haven't already started learning that. Also if you are curious and want to get a jumpstart this is a great video I recommend

C# you can make 80 - 120k it's enterprise standard.

Unless you wanna make games on the UNREAL engine. LOLs.

Waiting for those asp.net tutorials.

C++ is what I learned in school. Well, Java, too. Has garbage collection improved? I'd love to one day teach a down and dirty C course for those of us who are into low level programming.

All,

Based off what I learned when I got my Game and Simulation Programming degree, C++ is more widely used and trusted. C# is good, but it's mostly dependable on libraries and dependencies more-so then C++. I've been taught C++ and a little bit of C# and personally I prefer C++ over C#. Of course that's my personal preference. Also if I'm not mistaken C# was Windows answer to C++ so given that I've taken a dislike since Windows really wants you to stay with them thus forcing you to use their libraries. C++ allows you to start from scratch which I love. I won't be learning C# here and refuse to do so. However, once they start a C++, I wouldn't mind diving into it to refresh my knowledge.

Cheers!

I'm afraid we have no plans to teach C++. I'm sorry!

While that's a bit disappointing, I'm not surprised. C++ isn't something you can just pick up quickly and really understand. It has many nuances. And frankly, there are a lot of things you won't understand until you learn the hard way.

With only a few exceptions, I've greatly enjoyed my time with C++. And I've also uncovered persistent bugs that have never been addressed. Two of my favorite programs were a chess engine and my own low-level implementation of multi-threading. There's no doubt that C++ can be really rewarding, but you have to come to the table prepared for the unexpected. It's just not so easy and predictable that everyone can really understand and master it, I'm sorry to say.
