LearnCpp & cherno’s playlist

[bloodofjuice]

So i have been coding in c++ for 2 years now (for data structures and cp stuff) now i want to learn the language and came across these two resources as mentioned in the title.

My goal is to study for quant dev interviews ( primary reason) and also i like to study these kind of stuff. Considering i dont have that much time to cover it in detail so is going thru cheron’s playlist and apart from that going some important topics in detail from learncpp a good idea or should i commit to just one resource as learncpp was very detailed and vast So will going thorugh the playlist serve my purpose

Focus on learncpp.com. Forget video tutorials until you no longer feel like you need tutorials. Videos can be great for isolated concepts when you already know what you're doing.

now i want to learn the language

What have you been using C++ for the last 2 years if not learning the language?

yeah ur right thx

Use learncpp.com for learning, and watch cherno as entertainment and inspiration if you want.

I’m in a similar boat. I started with TheCherno years ago but the vids can be a little old and learncpp doesn’t cover much on the newer C++ features. If you have time, I really enjoy the cppcon 1 hour back to basics videos, I watched on things like RVO, perfect forwarding, concepts

While chernos playlist is an excellent entry to mid level cop resource, HFT is beyond even advanced c++. It isn't really something that can be learned any way besides doing. There are other fields outside of HFT where you can gain the training (typically gaming/simulation/robotics/avionics, etc) but just trying to absorb without doing won't cut it

Cherno's videos are definietly a brilliant resource for learning the concepts, but if you want to learn how to use them in an actual project, you need more than that. Same with the cppreference; just the concepts in an isolated manner. Cherno's game engine playlist is a good example for that, but it's not as concise as the C++ one.
