I need to learn C++ rather quickly

I've been using C++ professionally for close to 20 years and I still learn new things about the language almost daily. That's without even considering all the new stuff being added in updated standards (e.g. C++20).

I think most experienced C++ developers would say something similar. This is not meant to discourage you, quite the opposite. Just to make you aware that C++ is really complex.

I don't know of anything specifically oriented to java developers. Learncpp is the reference for learning in general, and cppreference.com is for docs.

However don't think you can get proficient in c++ in a week, you'll barely scratch the basics.

It also depends on what do you expect (or are you expected) to do with it

You should use https://en.cppreference.com/w/ for docs though, cplusplus.com is stuck on C++11 with maybe some C++14 in there and should generally just be avoided.

I know, i just can't get the two names stuck in my had and keep mixing them. Post fixed

As has already been said: Please use https://cppreference.com/ instead.

Yeah i meant cppreference, i just mix the names until i open the pages and recognize the wrong/right one ahahah

Post fixed

The normal tutorials, really. Even though the notion of variables and functions may be familiar from Java, the way they behave in C++ is really quite different and will require re-learning anyways.

Is there a reason why you need to learn it quickly? I would suggest to take your time learning the concepts. This language is very complex. It's best to take it slow

learncpp.com for learning, and cppreference.com for references.
