Is C++ good?

• Distributed Systems: Challenges, Experiences and Tips

  About 4 months ago (approximately the last time I wrote something here), I opted to embark on a graduate school journey at Stony Brook University, Computer Science (if you have a remote position — Technical Writer and/or Software Engineer position — at a non-USA company, don't hesitate to reach out). Was it the best decision to make considering less pay (if any), more theoretical undertakings and assumptions, and... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Any opinion about tutorialspoint? Getting apparently wrong results

  Full of wrong and/or incomplete information. I prefer cplusplus.com when I need to look up some library details. Source: about 3 years ago

• Learning DSA from scratch : The Ultimate Guide

  For C++ I would suggest using cplusplus.com. Fantastic resource to use. Source: about 3 years ago

• Things that i should know before gettting into Data Structures and Algorithms??

  C++ was far from my first language. I took Modula-2 and FORTRAN in school. I knew about pointers, linked lists, etc before writing my first line of C++. I think the best way to learn is just to work on projects that interest you. Get familiar with online resources. I like cplusplus.com and cppreference.com (can get a little verbose). I'm also a big fan of w3schools.com. They have a good C++ tutorial for beginners. Source: about 3 years ago

• Help

  I second this. cplusplus.com will pop up on your searches, I just blocked it. Loaded with ads and slow, and almost always less thorough than cppreference. I found geeksforgeeks OK when learning algorithms - not so much the language itself though. Source: about 3 years ago

• Udacity Class - This isn't really how it's done is it?

  I'm a bit skeptical of the class as it is due to the fact that they're recommending cplusplus.com as the go to reference, the class is supposed to be for C++ 17, so it's not like the information should be that out of date right? Am I crazy here? Source: over 3 years ago

• Why are all of my friends telling me not to use cplusplus.com?

  Cplusplus.com is just fine. It's not complete, or up-to-date, but it's not malicious or anything. I look at it sometimes when I need a very surface level explanation of a concept as opposed to cppreference's highly detailed, comprehensive style. Source: over 3 years ago

• Why Cin automatically ignore the enter key in class

  I am looking into cplusplus.com. The >> operator has 4 effective parameters in standard istream objects: ws, boolalpha/noboolalpha, skipws/noskipws, and dec/hex/oct. The skipws parameter is for skip whitespaces, and in standard streams, skipws is set on initialization. Also, in C locale, 0x20 (space), 0x09 (tab), 0x0a (new line), 0x0b (vertical tab), 0x0c (feed), and 0x0d (carriage return) are considered as... Source: over 3 years ago

• Best way to start in robotics?

  But there are tons, for written ones tutorialpoint or cplusplus.com are good resources. Source: over 3 years ago

• I am stuck in tutorial hell

  I would start with a direction of where to apply C++. Updating legacy code, working on embedded systems, creating financial application and creating high performant games are a few common option. Also sites like cppreference and Compiler Explorer/Godbolt are your friends in learning. CPlusPlus.com might help with legacy support as it stops with C++11. Source: over 3 years ago

• are there any online tutorials for people who know c++ but want to learn c?

  Sorry if this is a noob question, but ive been wanting to learn some lower level languages like assembly and c, but all the tutorials I find on c assume im a complete beginner and they're hard to sit through. Are there any tutorials online that are aimed at people with previous c++ knowlage? Or even a website like cplusplus.com for c? Im gonna read the book, the c programming language too, but id also like some... Source: over 3 years ago

• Sites like GeeksForGeeks really hurt C++ learning

  I like the layout of cplusplus.com better though. The way it has each C++ version in a separate tab is much more readable than the way cppreference does it. Source: over 3 years ago

• Sites like GeeksForGeeks really hurt C++ learning

  Mind sharing what's wrong with cplusplus.com. I have read it the past and seems good to me though not as informative as cppreference.com. Source: over 3 years ago

• Sites like GeeksForGeeks really hurt C++ learning

  Cool, I didn't know these existed, but now that I know I'm going to investigate this. I wish cplusplus.com could be banished from existence. Source: over 3 years ago

  Cplusplus.com is often outdated and sometimes just wrong. I would not recommend it. Source: over 3 years ago

• Beginner in Computer Science

  After that, I recommend learning higher level languages like C++ and begin learning concepts of abstract data types, data structures, and algorithms once you're used to the language. I first learned C++ from codecademy before university but I don't really recommend codecademy and would recommend learning from cplusplus.com instead. University is where I started to learn data structures and all that stuff related... Source: over 3 years ago

• Picking a New Language

  C++ (I'm sure they don't need care, but you could really tell the age of this language through the site design) The only reason I'm considering this is because of how much video games I play. Well actually it's not like an unhealthy amount, but it definitely holds a share of my time. It's also such an old language that learning it could probably benefit my overall understanding of languages in general? I'm not... - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago

  We have access to cplusplus.com, that's it lmfao. Oh, and our IDE, naturally. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Can i have some book recommendations as a beginner in computer engineering?

  On the programming side, I suggest looking into C/C++ programming. I think the best resource for this is through the Arduino platform, which offers a full solution to hardware and software. This essentially is microcontroller programming, which forms a major basis to embedded systems development. Just buying a simple kit online shouldn't end up breaking the bank on it.

  In general, cplusplus.com is not a great source for cpp related information. It is outdated and I've run into mistakes in the past. Source: almost 4 years ago
