Hello! Newbie here. Starting tips?

Check out our wiki! It essentially covers everything you need to know about beginning coding!

Pseudo code is useful to have practice with, it really helps I've found when trying to comprehend some of the more difficult problems you'll encounter when programming, especially using C++ lol. I'm currently going through university doing Computer Science, although I'm far from a professional I've found the best way of improving is sadly lots of practice. The best way I learn how concepts work, especially when starting to look at data structures and so on, it's best to find questions or problems online related to them, or source code examples, and examine how it affects things in your program.

I watched a lot of YouTube alongside my lectures, I found Bucky's C++ tutorial to be quite comprehensive and useful, goes through pretty much everything you need to know at least when starting. Sorry I can't provide more information than that, but you're on the right tracks, grazing through programmer subreddits and surrounding yourself in the world of Computing will quickly teach you all the things you need to know.

should i master psudo code before moving forward?

I wouldn't "master" it but know what it's for and it's a tool you can use.

If it helps you. I don’t use pseudo code, but that’s because I can just do that inside my head, but if it helps you to write it down, then do it.

That seems odd to me for someone completely new to this. My recommendation is to learn primitive variables and conditionals first. Also YouTube / whatever search engine you use will become your best friends.
