What's the fastest way to learn C++ and C#? Changing careers!?

I just lost my job in finance and I used to code HTML and design web pages for a living about 6 years ago. I know of 25 jobs looking for C++ and C# programmers and I am thinking about cramming in a three week crash course and teaching myself at least C++ and possibly C# if time allows. Any tips, hints, or help? I'm the main income for my family of four and my bank just downsized, so I need to get serious quick and find a new career fast. I know the business owners fairly well and know "people" who can get me into those jobs I believe. So if I can get in with some working knowledge, I think I can pull it off. Thanks for any help!

If you have 8 to 10k to spend look up Microsoft Certified Solution Providers in your area. Visual Studio is the fastest tool to learn. You can learn it pretty well in just a few weeks.





If money matters it will take longer, about 25 weeks go to your community college.





One work of advise. A lot of guys avoid taking the object oriented design classes and just want to learn the code writing.





Sorry, the object oriented design is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you will learn.
Reply:I can understand ur problem... There are many sites for learning the basics of any language u prefer but inorder to learn any complicated and challenging codes in C and C++ try using this site I hope it ll come handy http://programglobe.blogspot.com
Reply:Cram a 4 year university degree in two weeks?





There is a shortage of IT and Coders as the outsourcing trend killed the industry in north America.





Even $70k a year can't buy talent anymore.
Reply:I started with C++ by manuals, books are the good intro.


You just need a good understanding in logic... If you think in Code before coding, its easy to understand it. If you have no idea what you are about to do, you're not gonna learn it very fast. Take good classes somewhere.
Reply:Wow, that is a wild career change that you are looking at.





If you have mde your mind to work as a programmer, learn C++ first and get the job that you can through the "people" yo u know. To keep that job for long, you'll have to learn a lot of other things which might include C# as well. So for now, do C++ alone.





No particular reason to choose C++. Choose C# as well. But don't spread your time for both. Best learn any one of them and learn good.
