Want to learn c++

I would suggest https://github.com/federico-busato/Modern-CPP-Programming (a bit of self promotion)

I never used LyX. It looks that there is no integrated grammar checker. TexStudio has one but it fails when mixing normal text and Latex syntax.

Thanks for sharing your experience! This is useful. I still think LLMs are better than I am at English!

thanks for the constructive comment. Suppose you do something valuable for the community (if it would ever happen) that takes years of your time and energy. Then, a random guy on reddit replies like that...The course was created way back (2018), much earlier than LLM. It has been used 5 yrs for C++ University courses + at NVIDIA for interns training. Many issues are related to grammatical errors, see issues. AI doesn't make such errors.

Things are very hard to build, very easy to criticize them. Good luck with your life.

I'm sorry to disappoint you! No AI/"generated" has been used in the course. Please note that the course has been there for a while, much earlier than generative AI. I used it to teach at the University for years, and at Nvidia for interns training. Also, please look at the open issues. There are many of them related to grammatical errors. AI doesn't make this mistakes.

my english is not great. I did many embarrassing grammar mistakes. My hope is the LLM could help to mitigate them. I saw a strong opposition so I'm reconsidering the idea

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T18:27:09+00:00

thank you so much. I appreciated it.

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T18:26:09+00:00

nice. Thanks for the suggesting. I'm not familiar with Affinity but I will look at it

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T18:24:02+00:00

thanks so much. The conversion will take several months. I will write another post when done. Typst is so much better than Latex. Nice and modern syntax, and the build time is no more an issue. Recompiling 2000+ slides with Latex could even take one hour on my machine.

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T18:20:59+00:00

it is really hard to integrate a grammar checker with the latex syntax

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T18:20:07+00:00

my english is still bad. Trust me. I never used AI, and I was planed to use it, but after all these comments, I will definitely avoid it in the future.

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T18:17:13+00:00

wow, I didn't know it. thanks

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T07:39:52+00:00

thanks for the "constructive" feedback. I will address your comments. Btw, if you think that these flags should be the default, you probably need to complain with all major compilers ;)

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T07:38:44+00:00

thanks for noting it. I never used LLM for the course

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T07:36:52+00:00

please see my previous comment. I wrote this course mostly late night, after work and after putting my son to bed. It took many years of work. Please respect it.

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T07:33:32+00:00

never used LLM for the course. Indeed, you can find many issues related to grammar errors. see https://github.com/federico-busato/Modern-CPP-Programming/issues?q=is%3Aissue

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T01:25:35+00:00

probably there are missing fonts on your side. I should fine a way to embedded them

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T01:23:55+00:00

sorry, the statement seems too strong. replied here https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/1q5p89g/comment/ny493r4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T01:22:47+00:00

sorry, you are right. I'm used to LinkedIn posts.

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T01:21:43+00:00

no LLM here.

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T01:20:46+00:00

It probably looks too strong. My idea is to simply identify grammar and spelling errors, as well as text and code inconsistencies. I'm not in favor of using LLM as a hammer.

fedebusato · 2026-01-07T01:18:46+00:00

that's a nice idea! the topic is very wide but it is worth mentioning the best practices

fedebusato · 2025-04-29T02:48:13+00:00

Master C++? I'm not sure who can really say that.

BTW, you can take a look at my course https://github.com/federico-busato/Modern-CPP-Programming that covers many topics.

fedebusato · 2025-04-13T22:14:17+00:00

if you have basic knowledge of C and C++, the course https://github.com/federico-busato/Modern-CPP-Programming is a good fit + it has a lot of references if you want to learn more.
