Hey everyone! I've been learning C++ for about a month now and I've got the basics down, currently diving into polymorphism. However, I'm feeling pretty bored with simple questions and I want to create something meaningful to understand how coding applies in real life, like class usage in applications. I thought about starting a project and asked ChatGPT for ideas, but I got overwhelmed and confused trying to figure out where to begin. I'm looking for advice on methods you've used to move from learning the basics to actually making projects. How do I start a project effectively?
1 Answer
Step 1: Choose a project idea that excites you.
Step 2: Write down a plan of how you'll tackle it.
Step 3: Outline advanced steps without coding yet.
Step 4: Design your project’s structure. As a beginner, you can focus on functional programming first, even before diving fully into object-oriented programming with classes.
Step 5: Start coding and test as you go.
Step 6: Debug your code.
Step 7: Keep expanding your project until you hit your goals!
Thanks a lot for this comment!
