I am always grateful that people spent their time to create resources like this. This looks good and I would recommend it to someone who isn't a total newbie.

I also find it very interesting to look at the pedagogy of these sites. In the case of this site, it starts with a lot of history and computing. This is common for books, but asking a new user to wade through so much preamble before any 'meat' is asking a lot. In the first part where code is shown/explained:
https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/statements-and-the-structure-of-a-program/ https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/statements-and-the-str...
is a lot of upfront jargon for a newbie to process. ('pre-processor directive')
It does do a good job of showing how to set up visual studio. However these days, a htttp://repl.it is surely a MUCH easier way to get up and running.
I wrote a very small ultra-beginner guide for a young relative to learn C. It gets right into what C code looks like, makes connections to the math they have seen in school, and tries to hold back terms until they are really needed (omitting details where needed)
It isn't polished designed for widespread use, but I think for the truest beginners its better than other guides I found on the web.
