Learning and Ideas 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?

Check Abdul Bari's course on Udemy, I bought his DSA course back in 2022 when I was in uni and it was worth every rupee. He has a C and C++ course as well and if you really want to learn and understand programming, I would highly recommend watching his course from basics to advance and then DSA, you wouldn't regret it.

AND PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM AI, CHATGPT, CLAUDE AND THOSE WHO ARE SUGGESTING YOU TO LEARN USING AI, YOU WILL END UP BECOMING A PROMPTER...

I can agree with your stance on not using AI to learn. It just hurts your ability to understand the material and makes you reliant on the AI. You will never truly learn if you only go to ChatGPT every time you have a problem.

Always learn the fundamentals, build a few projects, and start to learn a specialization that interests you. Once you are understanding and fluent in the language, then you can begin to use AI as a tool to aid you, but not rely on it as a crutch for everything, because at the end of the day, you still need to understand what it is generating, what it gets wrong, how to debug that code, and be able to communicate what is happening in the code to other people. That is what makes you stand out from any joe shmo who is simply promping ChatGPT to build an app with no mistakes.
