- TL;DR Summary
- How was the learning experience for you when you started out with C++? Was it hard or easy?
I'm using the book "Programming principles and practice using C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup who is the creator of C++. It is an introduction to programming for the complete beginner and I am up to chapter 3 still learning the basics and trying to compete all the exercises.
Using this book requires better English than I have so I'm usually going over sentences all the time and googling words which I guess is part of the learning process. Also I have to get use to understanding what the writer is intending with his writing style... I would like it if there was more modern introduction to C++/programming books out there but there wasn't any good ones or hardly any with a Google search and asking around. Also reason I choose book over tutorial on YouTube or some other is that it is more in depth and explains more stuff than in YouTube or something where you have to keep pausing and google searching. And last but not least because it is from the creator of C++ who knows the intricacies of the language.
So wondering how you guys learned C++ and lots of people say it's one of the hardest languages to learn and others are easier once you learn C++. So yeah, how was C++ learning for you, was it easy or hard?
