I was just trying to find a modern C++ tutorial, but there's nothing comparable to the Rust Book on the internet.
I think even now the best resource to learn C++ is to first learn C, then original C++, then all the modern memory management techniques, which is just crazy hard for a new programmer compared to just going through the Rust book 10 times (which is needed to get a deep understanding).
- girvo 4y agoProfessional C++ is the 1072 page book that taught me modern C++, for what it's worth. I have the physical copy. And even then I have gripes with some of it's contents! The Rust book is second to none, tbh, and I say this as someone who doesn't really write Rust.
- pclmulqdq 4y ago1072 pages sounds like it's a little too thin to actually teach modern C++. I'll let you decide whether this is sarcasm - I could go either way.
- thefourthchime 4y agoAs someone who wrote C++ for 20 years, just don't. It's a horrible language(s). None of the codebases look the same, everyone uses different features or different versions of the language. Building is a nightmare, it takes forever to do anything. Run!
- DoctorDabadedoo 4y agoHey, but I have this single header only spaghetti-code library here, super easy to include in your package, should be a breeze to use! I'm with you, my sunken cost is 10 years, though.
- girvo 4y ago100% agreed. Though the work I do pays very well!
