Can anyone advise me?

Question

I am new to coding and I lnow I should start with C++. Does anyone know the best source to learn it thoroughly. I have found a sheet to practice and solve projects but where should I learn it first?

Answer 1

This IDE sets you up for everything you need
http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26

IMPORTANT: Download the MINGW setup version

Answer 2

Use every source you can, solo learn doesn't cover the whole language, there are basic and complex things you will figure out coding yourself and seeing other people's code

Answer 3

Start with the SoloLearn course

Answer 4

I found the tutorial from freecodecamp's youtube easy to understand

Answer 5

Mo Hani Would I need any source besides sololearn, or is it enough?

Answer 6

Alvaro 1234 Thank you! I have another question. I know I didnt start any lessons yet, but do we code c++ in text editors like sublime text 3? I want to try it on my own laptop not in a website or app.

Answer 7

Yasmeen it's not enough ofcourse, but it's a great start. After you finish it you can watch other youtube tutorial or read a book, and always keep practicing practically, SoloLearn code playground is an excellent place to play with codes and apply codes practically.

Answer 8

Mo Hani Got it, thanks! I appreciate your help😊

Answer 9

Yasmeen You can code in C++ with notepad if you wanted, a good IDE that I used when I learned was Code::Blocks, I like ot because it sets up everything you need; download the MinGW version

Answer 10

Umm, I have sublime text 3 on my laptops thats why I asked about it; however, I dont really know what an IDE is or the other 2 you mentioned. I will try searching a little bit. Thanks!

Answer 11

Perhaps when you get more familiar with the concepts, syntax and compilers you will understand that and IDE isn't necessary; with sublime text you won't be able to build a C++ app, you need a compiler

Answer 12

Aha, I am confused but as you said I will get familiar with these later on..

Answer 13

Ahh, got it👍🏻
