Getting better at C++
I know a decent bit about it i was just wondering if there is anywhere or anyway i can learn even more than i know
My best recommendation would be youtube, there is a variety of C++ Techniques and not too many specific ones. Just look up what you want to learn, practice until you muscle memorized and you can code in no time!
Definitely YouTube!
I'm tired of seeing the shit post / spam post in every community I go to about programming.

Whoever claims YouTube is an accurate source for learning a programming language is utterly false. Instead, buy a book; my recommendation as a complete beginner would be (C++ For Dummies).

From personal experience the best way to actually learn computer code without losing interest is creating something you want to create, i.e, learning how to code a login system and acknowledging every peice of code, i.e research the meaning of that particular code.

Update: After doing a tad bit of research, it's recommended you learn C first. Most programmers that learn C refer to Java or C++, C++ is a lot more complicated and advanced, this is from experience.

*If your not afraid to spend a couple bucks, I would certainly buy a variety of books as sticking to one might aggravate you.

You are right! but watching YouTube only will not help. of course, you will need a book.
C/C++ are the worst choices for a beginner.
Especially C++.Go that way if you want to hate coding.

This is one of the most ignorant posts I've seen on programming. I started with C++ and it is a wonderful first language. You get an extremely solid foundation to build on (provided you spend the time to learn it). Better understanding of data types, memory, functions, classes, etc. I took an intro programming class last semester and they start with java. It might not be a bad language to start with but it was a bad language to start with in an 8week course. So many people struggle to get through that class because you jump right into classes and you don't know what any of the stuff is.

Well said!
I see a lot of opposites in this lol because c++ was my first language I ever really did things with and I love programming, and youtube taught me the most part about it. I guess what I am saying is, theres no best ways to learn how to program, because ultimately it comes down to what your leaning style is and what you learn best from.

There is such thing as "best ways to learn programming" although each individual is enthusiastic in their own way.
Yeah sure. You are both right. /endtopic
If you want to learn programming language, you should search for every source of information. Especially for C++. No one can say it's not for beginners, if you like it, you will learn it. It's simple.

However, I recommend you to use internet, books, eBooks, watch youtube tutorials, but don't watch too much. Be yourself, use your brain more than Youtube.

I guess you're intelligent, so you can do that!
