    Buy a c++ book. It's much easier than something else to learn languages.

    If you like games watch MakingGamesWithBen's youtube channel. He is very good at explaining and has some C++ tutorials and shows you how to make a game using C++ and opengl.

    If you need something more advanced look for Bo Qian

    Hello, @lordmirziteh
    I'd recommend a certain book, 'C++ Primer Plus' by Stephen Prata. The text assumes one has no prior knowledge of the C++ programming language whatsoever (a Primer), and what's more, you get to learn of the more advanced, safe features introduced with the advent of modern C++ (^C++11).

    I have never read that book but it was recommended numerous times already, so I guess it is a good book if you want to start learning C++

    Confidently, I'd say the claims that that book is a must-read, it's no jive. For C++17, you also want to try out 'Beginning C++17' by Ivor Horton and Peter Van Weert. You'll get to firmly acquaint yourself with the most recent C++17 additions ,for instance the std::optional<> (similar to the beautiful 'enum Option<T>' in Rust) , etcetera. You'll love the books.

    havent heard of std::optional<> yet, so looks like I have to look into it. Thanks for the recommendation.

    The Cherno's youtube channel has some nice tutorials for c++ although they may be too basic depending on your general knowledge of programming.
