I'm interested in picking up C++ and have some background in Java and Python. Can anyone recommend some good YouTube channels or textbooks where I can start with the basics?

Just a little reminder: when you start learning, don’t hesitate to ask questions and seek help in forums! It can really enhance your understanding.
Have you tried learncpp.com? It’s a really comprehensive and accessible resource. You might find it quite helpful!
I wasn't a fan of learncpp.com, but I found this YouTube link super helpful for getting started with C++: https://youtu.be/-TkoO8Z07hI?si=_3t9mp2kOeq0HGZ6. This guy breaks things down really well!
If you prefer structured courses, Udemy has some great options for C++. It’s usually pretty affordable, and you can learn at your own pace.
Check out these YouTube channels for learning C++:
- CodeBeauty: Perfect for beginners.
- The Cherno: Has a detailed and entertaining C++ series.
- freeCodeCamp: Offers a full course that's over 4 hours long.
For textbooks, I highly recommend "Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++. Focus on getting comfortable with syntax, OOP concepts, STL, pointers, and memory management. Make sure to code daily to solidify what you learn!
Thanks for the recommendations!
This is the way!
