This question I post because 1)I am new to programming 2)I am very interested in it.
You expect me to ask something "how to...", but I really manage this well. The question is can I handle a life of a REAL programmer, working on REAL tasks. I have a lot of fun solving different problems people give me or I imagine, but is it possible for some of you who work as a programmer to tell me about the work. What do clients want, how is the whole thing working. I have no idea of what does it mean to do programming, C/C++ for example, as a job. What is required of you as knowledge, do you have to program a complete solution alone for example for a big truck company or do you do some separate tasks and unite them at the and to form the complete program. Sorry if this question sound lame, but I would like to have some idea.

There are no lame questions, just lame answers. :-)

I was waiting to see if someone else replied to this, but I will give you my two cents and hope that others respond as well. Just to clarify, I am not employed as a "programmer" at my job, but my job overlaps into utilities/applications to assist in my job.

My view of the C/C++ market may be rather tainted, C in particular. When it comes to applications programming, these languages are being used less and less. Most businesses don't give a hoot how their applications are written and with the increased speed of hardware, the advantages of C programs dwindle. On top of that, the whole user-end market is driven by Microsoft. Currently, they have decreed that visual basic is to be the programming language used by Microsoft applications. A good amount of applications programming can be done using Excel and what can't be done there is done by Access.

I think that alot of systems programming or development programming is still done with C/C++. But in alot of cases, especially starting out, you will probably being doing code maintenance.

I don't want to paint a bleak picture, but I would really make sure that you have a well-rounded approach to computing. Try not to tie yourself down. There are alot of scripting and interpretted languages that are pretty important now days as well.
