I want to learn C++, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

I genuinely do not understand why anyone wants to learn c++.

There are free youtube tutorials. If you're a step-by-step book person then fine get a book. There arent very many wrong or inefficient ways to learn a language so your basic problem solving will find you a fine solution.

Sololearn is always an option it has a good course with quizzes.
It has a good community to find code and ask questions.
And its free so why not.

If you dont understand something look up until you find the answer or go on youtube.

If you don't mind having 30GB to download I recommend downloading the "Gentoomen library" from here which has a ton of books on C++

The guy who wrote the language literally wrote several books on how to learn it. Start with "programming: principles and practice using c++"

Op:

>I genuinely want to waste my time learning a sub par programming language that will ultimately result in longer project completion times

C++ compoundly wastes your time.

This is absolutely retarding considering you need at most 10 books to master C++.

retarded*

phoneposting takes another life.

Is C++ Primer good?
What about accelerated c++?

Don't listen to these tards, OP. C++ is very useful, but I wouldn't learn it as a first language. It's the most complex and cumbersome thing that's actually used in the industry. Learn Java first.

Why not C?

Learn both. And then forget about them, because you usually shouldn't be writing C++ like C or Java but it's important that you know how regardless.

How do I make sure I don't write C++ like C though?

>>61795550
By using C++ features where appropriate. Classes can be good. Templates can be good. RAII can be very good. STL can be handy when you want to write code fast rather than write cast code.

lol no


learn java instead
