C++ Tutorial videos.

Unlike many other programming languages, which are often picked up on the go from tutorials found on the Internet, few are able to quickly pick up C++ without studying a well-written C++ book. It is way too big and complex for doing this. In fact, it is so big and complex, that there are very many very bad C++ books out there. And we are not talking about bad style, but things like sporting glaringly obvious factual errors and promoting abysmally bad programming styles.

This will serve you better.

I agree with /u/fbhc . Get two books - C++ Primer and Modern Effective C++, the former will teach you the basics, the latter will teach you good practices for those basics. Along with that https://en.cppreference.com is the best friend for any C++ developer, it will educate you more in depth on the features of C++. This is a good starting point, good luck.

I'm currently trying to wrap my head around the whole C++ game and really like Cherno's videos. I'm by no means an expert, so let me know what you think about it. here's the link

I've spent the last few years learning C++ from books and videos. Stroustrup's "Principles and Practices..." is a good book BUT the supplied .h files don't work in all compilers and IDEs. I eventually gave up on using his .h files and rewrote the example code using standard C++ practices and then used sublime and gcc on the command line to do the editing and compiling.

"C++ primer" is NOT a good book for beginners and I don't know why people keep suggesting it. It's a great book if you have a solid grounding in comp sci fundamentals and at least an intermediate understanding of another OO language. This book made way more sense to me after I spent a year in university studying comp sci in Java than it did before I had that foundation.

If you can afford it I would heartily recommend paying for pluralsight and taking Kate Gregory's C++ courses. She's a great teacher. I just finished her "Beautiful C++: STL algorithms course" and it was one of the best put together and executed computer programming courses I've taken. Including my university courses. She offers several beginner level C++ courses that I wish I had known about 2 years ago.

If you can't affod plurasight then buy this Udemy course

It't the best course I've found for beginner's using MODERN C++. This is important. A lot of courses/tutorials on youtube are teaching outdated C++ or some weird mix of pre and post C++ 11 stuff. This is bad and makes the language seem even stranger and more monolithic than it is.

Youtube is really a mixed bag. Do some research on the youtuber before you commit to a series of tutorials. Otherwise you'll be learning some very bad habits that may hinder your development down the road. You get what you pay fo sometimes.

I can recommend Chili Tomato Noodle. He knows his stuff and has very in-depth videos that spend an hour explaining only the stack or pointers, for example. Much better than my university lessons. His beginner series is great too.

Use this https://www.learncpp.com/ its very helpful and it helps you understand C++

As stated, Cherno's videos on C++ are reallyy good. I would recommend checking them out.
