Will It not take me long to learn Visual Studio If I’ve experience in the C++ language but not that proficient?

November 7th, 2009 | by admin |

I know c++ language(not that proficient). I was just wondering how long will it take me to master the "Visual Studio". Will it take me months or years to master it? I want to master it to develop more Visual type of programs. I’m 19yrs old and currently taking up BS in Computer Science. Do you think, It will take me until 25 to master it?

Not at all. If you already know C++, the "Visual" part is pretty easy. You can be good at it in a few projects. Its still C++, no different than what you use now. The biggest thing is getting to know the API’s in MFC (if you use them). The help menu is pretty good, and if you have the library disks, even better because there are lots of sample programs.

    Depends how do you define "Mastering Visual Studio".

    And, Visual studio it self is huge! you can do web application, desktop, webservices.

    And what kind of application you build also a factor of learning. for example a business application guy wont know much about the concept of doing the games programming, and playing with graphic stuff.

    And how long do you mastering, it’s depends how do you learn ? it’s faster, if you are doing project with teams, and learn it while doing.

    and i always find all programming language is not much different, as long as u understand the concept, the basic programming syntax (loop, if, function, recursive), and object oriented…

    so, Visual studio is just a different language, and environment. Practise make perfect.
