What is C++ and CAD used for? Is it hard to learn? I keep reading about these. Where can I learn by myself?

I am interested in this because I heard these programs are used to create programs? What kind of programs can you create and is it possible to create a program learning C++ or CAD to help benefit others and maybe become successful? What kind of place can I purchase to learn these and what can I get out of it. I need something that simple and easy to follow yet explains all the steps clearly. A book and CD with the programming of how I can do this will help alot. Usually Do I have to buy a separate CD to create these programs or While I am learning it , it allows me to create one ? Thanks.!

c++ is a computer programing language and cad is computer aided design used by archetechs alot cad is easy i did c programing and found it hard ...just read the details sorry. there are alot of c /c++ tutorials on the internet . youll need a compiler download cygwin or similler , you can write your programs in notepad (saving programs as name.c) and compile with cygwin its all free to dowmload. make sure you download the write librarys when getting cygwin. when using cygwin you have to find your program cd c: is to change to your c drive. LS will show everything in that folder.


gcc -o name.exe name.c will compile a program .
Reply:C++ is NOT a beginner's language. It's used to write the internals of the operating system and device drivers. CAD is Computer Aided Design used to build all kinds of mathematical models of computers, buildings and machinery to name a few. I doubt if you're going to find a "Beginnners Guide to C++" anymore than you're going to find "An Amateur's Guide to Brain Surgery"
Reply:i dont know much about them. What i do know is that C++ is a program used to create other programs as you said. you have to give the program certain instructions(in a sense) and it translates it into codes the computer understands. I dont know how anything else works. try downloadin free ebboks off of the internet about them. good luck
Reply:i don't know what C++ is but i know that CAD (computer aided design) is used by engineering company's and schools to design parts and equipment for various purposes. i learned how to use CAD in my high school's advanced engineering class. its not too hard to learn but there is a lot too it. you have to be efficient in math and Reading measurements down to the hundreds of thousands. as far as CAD goes, its not used to make another program its just for design. the program is costly depending where you buy it. and there are books you can use to learn but they are bought separately.
