310 What Does C/C++ Mean? - Simple Programmer Podcast - a podcast by John Sonmez

So, I've seen a lot of people asking me this question, about what does C/C++ mean.

Well, for new software developers this might not make any sense, after all, why do these companies put in their job listing "we want a C/C++ developer"?

I've had this doubt myself back then and this is totally normal.

This is exactly what George asked me:
"What I don't understand is why I always see C/C++ in the job listing,as far as I know those are different languages and somebody told me that C is mostly for hardware and embedded devices and I'm currently not that interested in that but why do we always see the C/C++ thing and not only one language,do people really always use both languages at the same job?Is it a bad idea to leave C aside and focus on C++ because I am really interested in competitive programming right now?"

So, do you wanna know why some companies ask for C/C++ programmers?
