Learning C++ is one of the most discussed topics among software developers. C++ is definitely not an easy programming language to learn and so, there is a lot of confusion that surrounds people when it comes to learning c++
So, first of all, there are some things you need to know first, before learning c++ that apply to learning almost any programming language.
Most starting programmers, when they want to learn to program, pick up a book and start reading.
While there are some excellent books out there that attempt to teach you programming in a very hands-on approach, I think the best place to start is by looking at the source code of an actual working application and trying to figure out as much of what is happening as possible.
This is difficult.
It's going to feel uncomfortable, but that's ok. Get used to feeling uncomfortable. That is the only real way to grow in life.
What I want you to do is to pick an open-source application-preferably a popular one that is likely to be well-designed-and start looking through the source code.
You can find plenty of projects on GitHub, so I'd recommend checking there.
It's beyond the scope of this book, but it's even better if you can download the code and build and run the application yourself.
If you have a friend that can help you with this, that's great. If you don't, it's ok.
What is important is that you explore the code to get a feel for what the programming language syntax looks like and that you try and read the code and see if you can understand or make sense of anything.
Use the application itself, if possible, so you can get a feel for the relationship between the code and what the code does.
Like I said, this is going to feel very uncomfortable.
You might feel like you're not understanding anything.
Here are some pros of learning C++:
So, despite that, there are a lot of resources you need to be aware of when it comes to learning c++. Wanna know more about learning c++ programming? Watch this video and find out!
