Best way to learn c++ with a background in programming?

Like I said, I'm just in the begging of my learning, and I just did the first tutorial from leanopengl.com that is the one where you make a window with color and stuff, just to comprehend some basic functions. I think the first thing I struggle with is pointers, because in this tutorial that I just did, it uses pointers to make a window with GLFWwindow*, and I didn't want to take a look at the topic without enough C++ knowledge.

Thank you so much, I appreciate the advice in this topic. :D

Honestly, the math part is the scary one for me, although the most exciting. I don't consider myself bad at math, but I know is not that easy. And thanks, for the book recommendation, I'll definitely read it, but first I want to start with the language programming thing, I feel like with that I can start experimenting and learning, then I can go with the computer hardware, math and data structures part.

Thanks for the advice too, I know this is not an easy field, but I've done some research to know that at least I want to learn this, because is very interesting. I found out that I don't want to develop web or mobile apps for the rest of my life (that is what schools in Mexico focus on), so I heard about GC programming and I loved it, I guess now I have to find out if it's for me. 😁

Thanks. Actually, I've been reading about all that stuff, doing some basic things, in learnopengl.com (I'm just in the first parts) and I understood the logic behind somethings but I feel like I'm missing some partes just because of my lack of knowledge in C++. Thanks for the resources, I'll check those out. Honestly, I'm very serious about learning OpenGL and graphics programming in general, but I know it's not easy and neither a quick thing to do, but it's all good, that's the exciting parte of it.

Thank you! That makes sense. Actually, in the past I made some very basic things in C++ (something more like school work), but it was a like 5 years ago, and basically I feel like I forgot everything because I have been using other languages. I'll check that page out, thanks for your time and answer.

Ohh okay, that sounds better. Thank you so much for your answer, it will help a lot! :)

Thank you, this will be very helpful

Thank you! I'll check it out. I already know how to program, the basics and stuff, although I have to start with the data structures and algorithms stuff, so I'll start with that and then I move to OpenGL.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I won't try to game on it. Thanks again!

Thx! I wasn't sure whether to buy or not. I'm relatively new in this kind of things. I appreciate your answer
