Building a successful career in programming takes more than technical skill. The developers who thrive long-term combine strong coding fundamentals with professional awareness — knowing which skills the industry values, how to present themselves to employers, how to navigate career transitions and how to keep growing in a field that never stops changing. Whether you are just starting out or looking to level up, having the right guidance at the right time makes an enormous difference.
MYCPLUS has been publishing programming career guides, professional development advice and skill-building resources since 2007. This section covers the practical, real-world career guidance that programming courses and textbooks rarely teach — from choosing the right programming languages to learn, building a portfolio that gets noticed, preparing for technical interviews, and developing the professional skills that separate good developers from great ones.
With articles covering career entry points, specialisation paths including game programming, full stack development and software engineering, and practical tips for continuous professional growth, this section gives programmers at every stage of their career the honest, actionable guidance they need. Your technical skills get you in the room — this section helps you know what to do when you get there.
Why MYCPLUS: Trusted by programmers and developers since 2007 — every career guide combines honest professional advice, practical skill guidance and real-world tips designed to help programmers at every level build confident, sustainable careers in software development.
Learning programming is undeniably challenging. Achieving some level of mastery requires great focus and time. This applies to students pursuing degrees in computer science, veterans who can operate the GI Bill, aspiring self-taught programmers, and coding Bootcamp students. And even as mastering programming craft remains a perpetual struggle, it is something doable.

This article presents a list of C and C++ programming courses which are freely available online on different university websites in the form of OpenCourseware.
As a programmer I used different ways to improve my programming skills, like reading/writing code, working with experienced programmers and reading blogs and websites. I have listed few of the points here which in my opinion will be quite useful for novice programmers.
I have compiled a list of repeatedly asking C++ interview questions here. Some of them are very important C++ questions
