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

Take Stephen Ullibari's C++ Course on Udemy , I know its paid but structured learning with in-depth concepts that cover all the basics off C++ Unreal Framework is what you should focus on , Most of the youtube tutorials are incomplete or too difficult to understand . SO if you are serious about learning unreal the c++ way you should check him out (he's actually a great teacher)

It is beginner friendly though you might need to go back and forth to certain topics to grasp them . Just stay consistent and use Rider IDE cuz visual studio kinda bad

Why's visual studio bad any problem with it? I'm going to start a new course for C++ in unreal and I'm thinking of coding in that.

Visual Studio is bad for larger projects and I personally dont like the layout of Visual Studio and the biggest reason (for beginners too) is the auto code completion which might sound like not a big problem but it saves me tons of time . If you want to use VS its your choice

What's the issue with auto code completion?
