I'm about to start my freshman year at university, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in "Computer Systems and Software," and I'll be learning C++ and Python. I have a basic understanding of Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from school, but I'm unsure how to approach learning C++. Should I take handwritten notes like I did in school? Also, is there a good YouTube course or free online resource for learning C++?

If you're enrolled in a class, just make sure to show up! Seriously, so many students skip out. Ask questions whenever you're lost so that you leave class with all your doubts cleared up. Taking handwritten notes is super effective, too! It engages your brain way more than typing would. You can go through your textbook before classes as a refresher, and don't forget to tackle all the homework, shooting for that 100% grade! You'll be golden without needing extra materials like YouTube if you follow this plan.
What if classes haven't started yet? I want to get a head start but am wondering if I can manage once they begin with just the basics.
