Hi All,
I am C++ developer. I have working knowdlege of C++. I have a big confusion about how should I proceed ahead,
Like,
1. Learn C++ in depth (I also knows C# and WPF .Net)
2. Learn Software Design (Design Pattern and then UML)
3. Windows OS internals
4. Real world software programming (because I have not handled any software development by my own)

Now here is major problem. I wanted to learn (master) all, but not able to prioritze. Where to start and what to do first.

Regards

Solution 1

Go for 4.

Nothing, but nothing is more important than learning that the real world is vastly different from what you do in school - and it's not just programming that this applies to.

Then 1, 2, and finally 3.

I agree with your answer. But don't you think, without learning how to design software, we cannot start real world programming.

"Real world programming" and "Design patterns" are not necessarily connected...
What you learn in college is not always what gets used :laugh:
(Some very, very good programmers had never even heard of the concept of design patterns, or UML. Doesn't mean they aren't important, just that they aren't realistic all the time)

That's why you need to get the Real World experience!
