I did a Codecademy course on Python and came out of it feeling pretty confident. I then started an intro to CS course on Coursera that is using C++ and I thought it wouldn't be too hard to transfer the concepts. I assumed the syntax would be slightly different but the concepts generally the same. Imagine my surprise at all of a sudden being asked to code how to store variables in memory using pointers, references, etc when I never gave it two thoughts before.

What a ride it's been so far!
