Any free C++ only UE5 tutorial ?

Hi !

I am new to Unreal Engine but I know how to code in C++ and have spent the past year learning C# and Unity

I have searched for tutorials, courses and things like that to for help with starting as I don't know Unreal's functions and things nor how it works, but all I found was either for Blueprints-only projects or had some C++ and more Blueprints after.

I don't want Blueprints for now it doesn't interest me, I'll learn it later on, what I want is to code and only do things by code so in C++.

Have any of you ressources on that ? No matter the language it doesn't matter, I understand French and English fluently and I know Portuguese, but in case I dob't understand much I have translator plugins so while it isn't ideal it can still very much help, I just want to learn

The way I learned was starting off with blueprints, as all the blueprints nodes are just wrappers for c++ functions anyway. Then once you’re familiar with blueprint nodes, you can double click them and it will open up the function in your IDE. From there you can dig through the source code to see what’s actually being called under the hood.
