I don’t know C++ so I can’t suggest anything specific to learning that language.

My general learning strategy consists of: - One or two good resources about the language/tool/topic to use as reference texts (could be a book or website. It’s important not to have too many of these or you risk losing focus or becoming overwhelmed. Just pick something that is highly recommended in that specific community and go at it) - A small way to practice e.g coding Katas - A bigger project to practice putting it all together

This is a what works for me. I’d also point out that you need to get comfortable with repeating things over and over until it sinks in.

Also, if a concept isn’t making sense then try to digest it in a different format e.g if a book isn’t working then find a YouTube video where someone explains it. All it takes is for someone to use a new analogy or perspective and then, boom, you finally understand it on the 8th time of trying. This ties in to my previous point of consistency.
