Hey everyone! I learned C++ a few years back during my university days, but since then, I've mostly been using Python for my projects, especially during my MSc in Robotics. Now that I'm job hunting, I'm realizing that many positions require C++ skills, and I've kind of lost my touch with it. I'm specifically looking for courses or guides to help me get back up to speed. I've seen ads for Boot.dev, which seems cool, but I don't think they offer C++. I'm someone who learns best by doing rather than just reading. Any suggestions on how I could dive back into C++ and really get the hang of it again? Thanks in advance!

I've always found that the best way to learn is through hands-on projects. Try to give yourself a goal, something specific to work on. Microcontrollers can be an awesome way to get into C++, especially since they focus on real-time programming and interrupts. They're quite relevant in robotics too! Most can be programmed in C++ or embedded C, which would really help you with job applications.
That's a solid idea! I've been tinkering with microcontrollers as well, and it really helps reinforce the concepts. Plus, you'll see tangible results!
