    In this age, Most disgusting thing is Dilemma.
    Like there are many stacks and you see peoples using different things.

    You see Python popularity , You wanted to learn that
    Again About C++ , Oh! Great Speed I want to learn this
    Flutter, Oh! wow , mobile development. Easy way to attract peoples
    Javascript , Easy for web and most no. of peoples in it

    And more
    Like If I learn C++
    Then there are option
    WxWidgets
    QT
    and much more

    One person says
    "This is one very bad, See how this one is beautiful framework"
    Another says:
    "This is very easy. You can earn money easily"

    I am at late 18 now

    First I learned C++ because I didn't have that good computer to learn python using Good IDE. (now I know there are IDE that are lightweight too)
    Learned C++ .
    Again I saw peoples creating websites
    That seems interesting, So I learned HTML CSS
    Later learned Javascript

    Again I feel creating Desktop application would be great because There is nothing productive just with Plain C++ (not early)
    So learned QT
    In between these ,
    I learned MYSQL

    Later I thought NODEJS
    I will create fullstack Site with node js
    And more more on all

    Guys What suggestions would you give me guys???

    I really need your thoughts on this πŸ˜…πŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ͺπŸ˜ͺ😭😭😭😒
    Like It is sooooooooooooooo bad that I haven't earned any money with 2.5 years of programming.

    My two projects are going on, One WEBSITE
    AND another Desktop Application with QT

    Should I create new one or Is it ok to continue in this one?

    @Thank-You I'm not sure I'm someone who should be giving advice, but here's some food for thought: in my 40 years in high technology, the challenge has always been building a bridge between technological potential (what the stuff can do) and the everyday user (what people want it to do). You can learn all the languages and computing techniques in the world, and it won't do you any good unless you can apply them to solving real-world problems in a manner that people will accept.

    This is why Macintosh succeeded; it was the "computer for the rest of us." 20 years later, it's why iOS succeeded; the iPad was the "computer for the rest of the rest of us." (I don't mean to sound like an Apple bigot, but for all his faults, Steve Jobs understood this like few others.)

    So, I guess what I'm saying is, it's not what you know; it's what you do with it.

      If your main focus is getting money, now - learn Go. It's a modern language, quite easy to get into and people get insane salaries if they know it well enough.

      But it will change. I don't know which language will be the next big thing. But I know that even niche languages and frameworks can get you a nice job and - very important in my opinion - happiness.

      Personally, I love using Qt (what a surprise, right?), I work in Qt and I do my private projects in it, too. So I have fun, do what I like and even get paid for it. And I'm pretty sure you can do the same if you settle on one language or framework. Does not matter what it is (except for some really weird languages like brainfuck ;)), what matters is that you get some fluency in it, do some private, hobby projects going - employers will value that a lot. Get involved, get active on user forums, mailing lists etc. - and the rest will come.

      On the other hand, I've also heard a lot of stories of people getting a programming job with zero experience and zero knowledge... that also happens.

      Like It is sooooooooooooooo bad that I haven't earned any money with 2.5 years of programming.

      What, why do you think it is a problem? I started seriously getting into programming and Qt 5 years before I got a first job. I never saw it as an issue. I was gathering experience, learning etc. the whole time. Still am. Relax! (well, unless your life situation forces you to find a job ASAP, then I can see a problem. But you can always find an "in the meantime" job in a shop or something and continue learning to code in the background).

        @sierdzio
        I want to earn money through Programming only at least till this point I think I will either earn money by programming or any things related to computer.
        Actually I have two ongoing projects, that can pay me If I completed it. I guess I mentioned that at very last of my message.

        But that dilemma to learn things has caused the main problem to me.

        I am loving QT but
        In our country there are no any QT jobs or any Qt programmer. I found only two peoples from our whole country in this forum. So only way to earn money here is making own company. (I don't need to earn money at this point, Other of my age with less programming skill are getting Job So I guess this feeling is due to that.)

        Sometimes I think I should go with competitive programming, but I feel If I can solve real world problems for now , I can leave it for now.

        you can apply them to solving real-world problems in a manner that people will accept.

        @mzimmers This is how I learned QT. Once Someone challenged me to build application for company. I built it and it was console application. Who would use it 🀣🀣🀣. That person laughed at me🀣🀣🀣🀣. And then I learned Win32 for a week, Converted that application to GUI And I found QT and am making the same software with many features. (maybe egoπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚)

        I mostly do programming these days. It's lockdown due to CORONA. That's sad news for others but quite happy for me. I can do programming whole day.
        I mostly use computer (9AM-10PM). I don't mean I code whole day but what I do is always related with computing.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‰

        Let's make QT free or It will go forever

          From what you say you seem to be on the right path. Personal projects, learning, ability to switch between languages fast - all that is incredibly valuable for employers. I'm pretty sure you can land a job already. Maybe try doing a few job interviews? Don't worry if you don't fulfill all the requirements from a job offer - these are usually "nice to haves" in practice ;-)

          In our country there are no any QT jobs or any Qt programmer.

          In today's world that is not a big issue, you can work remotely or travel to a different country. There are many companies which will even pay you for the trip.

            hello, it was a long time ago, at the beginning of KDE, under Suse 7.x (7/8 cdrom), this corresponds to the beginning of 2000, to the young years of Nvidia

                Haven't tried so far. I guess I have to try but it is very hard to find such jobs(They need QML, network and many things).

                  Job listings usually are full of requirements that are "nice to have" in practice. You don't have to know everything to get a job. Even tough experts typically don't know all of Qt, it's just too big.

                      Just wanted to know
                      When did you peoples started learning QT ? Please mention your age when you started programming too. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
                      please add your experience before learning QT.

                      Aren't you attracted by other easy frameworks (although they are not in c++) LIKE
                      FLUTTER , REACT NATIVE , DELPHI , C++ BUILDER (not easy but alternative) , Ionic etc.
