We recommend these resources

My advice is just go start making things, have fun and learn as you go

[lusty marlin]

in reality it's pretty much impossible to become an expert in C++ in just 2 weeks, it takes more than a year to even get a good grasp on the language

my advice for learning C++ would be to start off simple and do a very small project and constantly push your knowledge on the language, like how anybody does when it comes to learning how to program in general

make a new server side batteries included web framework from the ground up (this should require you to learn about everything)

[lusty marlin]

hey thank you, do you think i would be able to finish the learncpp.com course in 2 weeks?

thank you all as well for giving me suggestions

i will follow them, thank you

@lusty marlin Has your question been resolved? If so, run !solved :)

[drowsy cargo]

I wouldn’t advise reading it chapter by chapter

Jump around

[lusty marlin]

okay thank you

should i jump into topics i dont know about yet? (and skip the stuff like variable initialization and all that type of stuff

[drowsy cargo]

You have lots of general programming experience so use learncpp for familiarizing yourself with the basics but also as your reference for parts of the language as you go. Variable initialization is important in C++ as it's actually very complicated.
