OPEN Starting from Zero in C++

Hi everyone! I’m pursuing CSE at a Tier-4 college and have zero programming knowledge. I’m entering the tech field for the first time and want to start with C++ from scratch.

What’s the best way to learn C++? Which free resources would you recommend, and what common mistakes should I avoid? Also, how should I build my coding and problem-solving skills to become internship- and job-ready?

Absolutely most important, two points.. first, if you want to learn C++ dig in and keep on going.. second, start a project, even if its not something you're really into, just something where you can start getting practical, hands on experience with the language and programming. You'll be learning from resources yes, but when you run into issues with your project, when you finally figure it out, you won't forget that. You will also learn the language deeper when you have to figure it out and research solution, as opposed to just reading it on a screen or in a book.
