The sheer mention and comparison with Python in comments of a video that’s addressed to the newbies of coding in a different language from an expert in that field shows which language is the winner. Sure memory and speed matters but what matters the most for a scientist is getting things done on a computer without worrying much about the execution and rather think about their project and concepts instead. No matter how much these C++ newbie fanboys bash Python, it’s ruling the world because it “gets the job done”. I bet these C++ experts won’t bash Python as these newbies are doing because they have matured in the domain and so know that no language is perfect and likewise, “every language has its benefits”. I would rather respect C++ than bash it even if I’m a Python user.

I liked your comment about Divide and Conquer as I am relatively a new programmer. I don’t properly write steps or a rough pseudocode to describe the problem at first and soon get frustrated when the problem doesn’t run in the expected way. Because it seems hard but I think nothing is easy.

Please keep making videos.

Progress is iterative improvement, first make something that works and fullfills basic criteria.

I am not good at math at all, in fact a little bit stupid, If i take it slowly and work hard at it , would it be possible for someone like my self to learn to code well enough to get by? I am keen and dedicated only i struggle with learning certain things.

Our high school really teach us C programming basics now as a react programmer i want to learn backend in C++ but i am so confuse where to get started anyone suggest me some path on which library should i learn or how can i start?

i love this content! straight to the point and not the average super high dopamine video that overloads your brain! - i subscribed.

The new comers believe they're smarter than elders because they can do what we do in a much easier way. But, C programmers are the ones who gave life to computing, not Python-GPT coders or new JS frameworks fans. You are so humble but your words are strong!

C++ was my first language. I took it in high school and then again in college. C++ is by FAR AND AWAY the best first language. It forces you into coding best practices better than any other language plus it's object orientated so you can get all of that knowledge as well from it. C++ will slit your throat for not initializing a variable when you least expect it and I think that's a good thing for new programmers. I hear of people starting with python and it just makes me cringe. Don't get me wrong i like python. I have a middleware app that is written solely in python, but I would never recommend it as a first language. I say this as someone who hasn't touched C++ in over 15 years. The main language I use these days is C#

I'm about 10 years in. I'm most comfortable with Python and can't shake the desire to learn C because it's in everything. C++ terrifies me

I'm currently on my 4th year of coding in c++. It's a hobby I started during the COVID lockdowns in 2020 and I've been hooked ever since 🥰 It does definitely get frustrating at times but there's always a way to do what you want!

This made my day more than you think. I've been really working hard trying to automate my company and learn software engineering and I'm studying code and I'm learning all this stuff and not sure if I'm doing it right but I keep getting smarter so I know it's working and I kind of had a little tear in my eye so I appreciate your video thank you very much.

The comment you make about bad code I find is very true. I'm learning C++ at the moment but have a decade of experience with other languages, mainly C# and my main learning moments were when I accidentally rolled out an anti-pattern - not that I knew what that was then, but seeing the issues, experiencing that pain was very much a strong learning point.

I struggle with getting a good engine to download

Nobody cares

dude you look dead inside wtf?

My first programming language was C++, and it's still the reason I love programming. Thanks for sharing your experience! I wasn't sure if what I was planning on doing now in my career was okay, but this video just gave me more confidence in my plan. Thanks again!

Thank you for this video, just did a Cobol Exam in my university and went worse than I thought I would. I just have this fear of getting things wrong, of just "being bad" that I prevent myself from learning, it's like I think everyone is a genius that solves problems easily and I should not spend time getting confused about trivial stuff (in my head if the things are easy I don't allow myself to spend too much time in it). If I stop to think, I have less than 10 hours programming and I decided I want to do this for almost an year. I really need to go back and try to do wrong things (to learn) and write stupid code...

Using "everything" and simply sorting its column by "Date Modified" turns it into the perfect system watcher. You see every file touched or updated or added. I use it this way sometimes just to find what apps do or put its files.

Take a deep breath and dive into the deep end, I started a Udemy coding course a month ago and haven't regretted it one bit. I feel committed and since I purchased the course, its my responsibility to finish it. Only way to learn code is to practice writing it. And so my journey is just beginning. Thanks for your advice Chris, enjoying your content!

Subscribed! Needed to hear that today. :>

I appreciate your opinion. It was only recently that I realized, as long as I'm learning, it's okay to be wrong or imperfect. There is fear on the internet about "learning bad coding habits" - the best way to manage those is to try things and then learn what works best. I finally saw a positive post about this - it said something like, "Self taught programmers aren't intrinsically bad, there just might be some ideas they haven't been exposed to yet." Today I opened up a Python program I worked on two years ago. Some room for improvement: a plethora of Try/Except statements, and it's all in one file. But, there were plenty of elements to be proud of. And I am.

i still somewhat of a noob at c/c++ as far as actually applying what i learned . my primary focus for the last 2 years has been c, but i understand a good portion of c++11 including newer features like vectors. the hardest part is thinking in terms of objects rather than functionally. i like to take my c code and try and improve on it using c++. im not a professional; just a hobbyist.

Thanks.

Why dont you post more??

Awesome, I needed this for the C# ECS I'm developing.

Lucky, I've been an oppressed successful minority for the last 10 years problematically id have loved to have similar work to you I'm good at it.

I've been programming in different languages for almost 20 years. You can always learn something new, and I completely agree with your advice. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome advice!

These raw videos are so cool !!

I’m very thankful for your contribution and I’m super thankful to have a resource in you as I am just finishing up my introduction to computer science course in C++ at school. I am drawn to the humility and transparency you are leading with. Don’t stop brother.

I agree. Except with how many languages there are and how much utility a lot of them have, why choose the hardest one?

My friend: I write good code Also his code: #include <iostream> const char *msg = "Hello world!"; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; struct IsHereToLookGood{}; int main(){ std::cout << msg; }

Praise Jesus!

This is super cool dude, you are the guy who got me interested into c++ and I am now learning. Keep it up dude, it's super cool!

wasting 4 minutes of my time just for this idiot to spew the most generic advice on the planet

Great video, thank you :)

I know html

💯💯💯

i learned c++ in 2006 with certified diploma from a course, but i never programmed with it except what i did inside the school i graduaded from, my god im old

From what I understand, programming language is a tool, the programmer is the carpenter. Companies provide the tools or require a tool, when you're on your own, you're free to use whatever tool you deem necessary

before going to university, i was trying to teach myself coding on codecademy, and it wasnt long till i felt unhappy and unmotivated to code and continue my info tech studies when i got to university. now im studying something else, but recently i went back to start the html section on codecademy because i want make websites and liked it as a hobby. so far i enjoyed it better than before. too much pressure is definitely unmotivating and stressful, so i prefer to code in my own time out of a school environment. i think its a transferrable skill in all areas of life, and definitely a creative hobby i overlooked because its like making a movie or drawing up a webcomic

I wrote my last C++ program 15 years ago. I love writing my own code but hate having to fix someone else's legacy code. I've seen some absolutely horrible C++ in my time written by games developers (no offence). C++ will let you do something if you really really want to while other languages have the training wheels. This is both a blessing and a curse.

I have used C++ off and on since 1989. There are too many ways of creating buggy code that can't be debugged with C++. I have seen some very nice looking C++ code written by others that constantly hung up. I prefer Python for structured code where speed and realtime performance is not needed. Even worse than C++ is C#. Instead of elaborate structures and inherited objects, etc programs need coherent states. C++, C#, Python, Java, and all the other languages people learn at university today have no facility for synchronizing states. If a program is not synchronous, any bug is possible. Some people don't understand this concept. Probably because they have been stuck doing the same thing over and over again. I will elaborate: There is a problem concurrent software has called the Mutual Exclusion problem. It is very difficult to guarantee different processes get exclusive access to resources in the correct order. I have seen that in large C++ programs. Threads are queued with nothing that regulates in what order different threads get access to resources. A similar case with multiprocessor systems. About 20 years ago I developed an image testing system, for space telescope IR sensors. It had a quad DSP board, that got sensor data over a DMA channel. Concurrently a pixel row was clocked and digitized by an Analog to Digital converter board, the previous row of pixel data was being transferred by DMA to one of the DSPs, and the second previous row of pixel data was being co-added with earlier data. At the end of each frame the image data was transferred to a desktop PC where it was saved to disk. This concurrent operation went on 24/7. The delicate nature of the image sensors (cooled to ~4.5 K) meant the clocking, data acquisition, etc had to be very regular and constant. Each process (4 DSPs, image array clock, user PC) had to operate in a state synchronous way. They communicated by reading shared memory. However if 2 processes tried to read or write to the same shared memory, the software would crash. So the software was very deterministic. In 5 years of operation the software never crashed and every test yielded good data. This is an example of a state synchronous concurrent system. The queued threaded systems (non realtime) software people consider to be standard fare today are not deterministic. So there is no guarantee there are not any conflicts. Leslie Lamport, 2013 Turing Award laureate, describes a similar method of preventing deadlock issues in multiprocessor systems. Good ideas often have concurrent inventors. amturing.acm.org/award_winners/lamport_1205376.cfm

Worked at visual concepts as a designer for a few years but recently got laid off. Recently started learning C++ just because it seems more stable to become a programmer and i also enjoyed coding and debugging code in c# when i spent time independently working on unity projects. i know cpp is much more complex but i think i'll have fun with it

I would say, if your goal is more about the application side of things, changing files and putting something on screen etc, then indeed go with Python or Ruby or something else. Those are perfect languages to learn programming itself as an abstract discipline and to do things with it. Sure, you can do all of that in C++ and nowadays you do have excellent tools that make C/C++ palatable. VScode is there and is free. Even CMake gets better all the time. But, working with C++ means knowing how the computer works. It means knowing what is "compiling" and "linking". It means using gdb and knowing what are "symbols" and how actual memory works. On the other hand, how computer works is an exciting subject by itself. So, if you want to learn how the computer works, do not doubt trying C/C++. One thing to add, C/C++ are genetically the languages of all modern computing. So, it is definitely worth to know how that works. Having said that, I personally would also recommend Nim as a "better C". But not for a beginner. Simply because it is still an experimental project with small audience.

You really don't want to be doing this sort of thing for much more than 5 years, it just isn't healthy.
