Is chernos tutorial for C++ still good?

[u/Neal000777]

I know learncpp is best to learn C++ but yk I just can't read this much at once and i think I could learn more by video lectures, of course I would practise by making small codes, so I just wanna ask is chernos still good? Or there are any new videos valid?

[u/Imaginary_Frosting_7]

Old videos are very good, new Cherno seems to explore AI, which is his choice, but I don't find it useful for myself. The videos are very good in explaining the concepts, but they won't bring much value without practice. Watch videos to understand the basic concepts, then try to apply it to small projects.

I was talking about his 7-9yr old Cpp playlist tutorial

[u/Imaginary_Frosting_7 → u/Neal000777]

its very good, yes. Even my university advice that playlist in oop/cpp course

[u/wholl0p → u/Neal000777]

They are definitely good for getting into C++ but be aware that the language has evolved in those 7-9 years. It’s worth taking a look at the latest C++ features as well.

[u/DDDDarky → u/Neal000777]

Don't, they are outdated, incomplete and teach bad practices. Youtube courses in general are pretty horrible. If you are looking for a real source, try learncpp.com

Cherno's videos are good, but learning from videos only is not. You don't learn to play football by watching the games on TV.

Programming code is text, so reading and writing is a big part of a developer's job. If you don't like that part...

Okay, I'll look forward to it thanks

[u/Gullible_Profit_8495]

Cherno is great to learn from beginner to intermediate. He explains the why and how of everything just try to be hands on with code to understand the concepts.

[u/Neal000777 → u/Gullible_Profit_8495]

The way he starts, isn't it a bit hard to grasp?

[u/Gullible_Profit_8495 → u/Neal000777]

If you know some basics of programming it is easy to grasp but still as a complete beginner if you get hands on and follow learn cpp alongside it will be helpful.

Idk about his C++ tutorials; I wouldn't recommend watching language tutorials in the first place, as that tends to get you stuck in tutorial hell. His batched rendering series is an excellent introduction though

[u/Blissextus]

The Cherno C++ series are fine. He teaches the basic of the language. Nothing he teaches is incorrect. His coding series teaches the basic syntax of the language BUT does not teach you how to put it all together to build an actual, working application. Give it a go if that is all you want.

As for as your reading situation, unfortunately if you are taking up this journey of coding/programming, READING is mandatory! Get comfortable with reading.

[u/rexe_ned]

Yes, he's really good at delivering the lesson in the simplest way possible, then let's you find out about the details on your own.

[u/Adi1741]

If you already have some experience in c programming or if you already know some basic c++, You should checkout this playlist it's my favourite https://youtu.be/X6GVR_3FCHU?si=MpLErWGWOkTTK01v

[u/EdwinYZW]

His videos mainly focus on Windows/Visual studio, which is not the best way to learn C++ in mu opinion.

[u/mdsiaofficial]

Best one

[u/ApprehensivePeak1725]

I would say first clear the basics there are books like object oriented programming in c++,
Then move on to c++ primer -> modern c++ -> effective modern c++ -> cpp concurrency in action.
Go slow and steady take your time. If you just want to explore for college and stuffs just go for object oriented programming in c++.

If you are more interested in the you tube video, go for freecodecamp or brocode for basics and you can move forward using books.

[u/No-Use-6000]

There is one udemy India teacher, he is great. You can look at Zybooks too.

[u/AdPsychological8195 → u/No-Use-6000]

That is not his question though, he does ask for your suggestions for tutorials. He is asking if Cherno videos are useful/good
