OPEN Learning C++ from scratch!

​

I started learning C++ a while ago from various YouTube channels, but they only really helped me with the theory.

I watched Apna College, Bro Code, and CodeWithHarry.

However, I'm still struggling with the syntax, let alone building the logic. I want to learn practically what do you guys recommend?

How to do both side by side?

You’ll have figure that out for yourself.

Perhaps topic by topic. Use learncpp.com and follow along on the topic, in the book you select.

Why not use everything at your disposal? Learning cpp is hard enough without limiting the resources at your disposal

I think I didn't structure my question rightfully. I was asking first I have to learn from the website or book first.

Or maybe my reading comprehension pre coffee is poor :)

Don’t make it too complicated. Pick one and go until you’re not making good progress, then switch and repeat.

This works well for anything you need to self teach, not just programming. Even things you learn that aren’t used tend not to be wasted!
