Abstract

Now that you have a basic understanding of how to use Visual Studio 2015, you can learn more about some of the languages you may encounter when developing your IoT solutions. One of those languages is C++—a very robust and powerful language that you can use to write very powerful applications. Mastering C++ is not a trivial task and indeed could take someone several years to be fully knowledgeable of all of its features. This chapter presents a crash course on the basics of C++ programming in Visual Studio, including an explanation about some of the most commonly used language features.

    However, I have seen the opposite happen for poorly written code. Language features can never overcome poor programming.

  5. 5.

    If you ever hear someone claim, “My code is self-documenting,” be cautious when using his or her code. There is no such thing. Sure, plenty of good programmers can write code that is easy to understand (read), but all fall short of that lofty claim.
