I'm planning to dive into learning C++, specifically with the SDL library, and I have a solid foundation in C, including pointers and file operations. Since I'm on vacation, I'm curious about how much time it might take to get a good grasp of it. Also, if anyone has recommendations for helpful learning materials or resources, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

While you can pick up the basics during your holiday, make sure to engage with real coding projects. Start small on your own or contribute to open-source projects. For resources, check out books like 'Effective C++' and 'Exceptional C++' for deeper insights!
Honestly, the time it takes to learn C++ varies greatly. You're looking at a commitment over time, especially for deeper understanding and skills. While you might pick up some basics during your vacation, mastering it could take years with consistent practice. Think about starting with projects to apply what you learn!
I get that, but if you have a couple of months totally free, you can definitely nail down the basics and be ready for internships.
Totally agree! It's all about the effort you put into it.
Thanks for the book suggestions! I'll definitely check those out!
