It's not mine, too. Anyways, the skill of a programmer only partially consists of his or her knowledge about the language constructs or the libraries. This is what mostly is taught in these apps. SoloLearn C++, for example, does not teach new C++ standards as C++ 11 and 14 and is really bad at best practices. It obviously teaches bad practices in the challenges. Nevertheless, this is not the main skill of a programmer, in my opinion, as programmers only start to shine when they are problem solvers. This is an ability that is not necessarily restricted to one programming language. If you know how stuff works, you can deduct *a lot*.

Because now is a lot easier get access to apps like this one to learn c and c++. Now is needed a much more higher level in programming and obviously much more programming languages. That is what I think. And sorry for my English, it is not my first language.

Obviously, and in the meanwhile I was going through the lessons I noticed great possibilities of doing a lot of fun stuff like comical A & Q between the user and the computer. I am actually creating some sort of conversation. What I am trying to say is that it's not only necessary the language and the skill to resolve problems but also creativity in applying the functions that C++ is giving to you.

Ok guys, what I'm saying is: there's a lot of other skill involved to be a good programmer. Working in a company should force you to write clean code. You don't learn that here. Also, the actual problem solving skill is *not* part of the programming language. You may learn it by getting better at a language and solving problems but thar skill is transferable to other languages as well.
