Hello all, I am beginner in programming. I know the basic concepts of c & c++. While talking about theory I can able to understand the concepts but if I need to write programs I am struggling to even think the concepts. I have completed Bachelor degree in computerscience, I have also completed Master degree in Information technology, but I did it by correspondence. I am struggling to enter into IT field, I dont know wat to do next, is there anyone to help me in this forum.

Brief context for and others: it is common to understand C/C++ theory yet freeze when asked to write a program. Replies from , and point to different entry routes; the following is a compact, practical plan to turn conceptual knowledge into runnable code and visible work for employers.

A useful learning plan is: set up an editor/IDE and a compiler (gcc/g++ or Visual Studio). Spend the first 2–4 weeks on focused daily exercises (one small problem per day) covering I/O, conditionals, loops, functions, arrays/strings, and simple pointers. For each exercise, define the goal, write three sample inputs with expected outputs (normal, edge, empty), sketch pseudocode, implement, and run targeted tests. Commit each solution to a Git repository so there is demonstrable progress.

A reliable problem-to-code workflow: clarify inputs/outputs, produce sample cases, write pseudocode broken into named steps, implement each step as a small function, then test and debug. Example (C-style):

/* Steps:

  1. define function signature
  2. loop and accumulate
  3. return result
    */

int sumArray(int arr[], int n) {
int s = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
s += arr[i];
}
return s;
}

To make the transition into IT, build a small portfolio of 3–6 projects (command-line tools, a simple file-based data manager, or a small algorithm collection). Each project should include a README describing how to run it and sample inputs. Practice debugging by hand-tracing small cases, using print/log statements or a debugger, and isolating bugs with minimal reproducible tests. A correspondence degree is fine; employers expect demonstrable skills. Steady, small wins (daily problems, version-controlled work, a clear README) will create the evidence needed for entry-level roles or internships.

On the 1st place,how did you graduated Master's degree when you don't even know how to write a program?Anyway,no offense if you are familiar with C++ then I would recommend you to learn PHP. It is a C++ like language for the web.Many tutorials in the net and very easy to learn..Gud luck...

IT has majors and minors, it is possible to do very little programming. Computer science is more so based on system architecture.

All I can say sasikala123 is practice makes perfect.

Perhaps try getting a job with an IT/software development firm as tech support and work your way up the rungs
