What should i read next?
I started learning C++ a couple weeks ago so I'm still starting out. I got Deitel & Deitel's C++ How to program late objects edition. i know it's early on but at the pace I'm going and how I'm liking it so far i was wondering if there's a certain book or website i should go to to learn more about C++ in detail after finishing this one. Thanks in advance
There are tons of books out there and lots of YouTube tutorials as well to learn C++ (or any other programming languages).
But just reading a book will not teach you any programming language. You have to practice coding. If you don't code then you won't get to test your skills and improve. Reading the book is important to learn the concepts but don't waste your time going into unnecessary details. Learn the concepts and practice.
Make some programs or basic console application games like Tic Tac Toe, ConnectFour etc. for yourself. And when you get stuck, feel free to ask questions here.
This is how I learned it!

Have you had a look at the articles and tutorial here in the forum?
I agree with newbiee999 that the most important thing is practice, practice and practice.
If you want to study more theory then I would recommend books about good coding skills like
"Write solid code" from Steve Maguire and "Code complete" from Steve McConnell
Another option I would recommend when you are a bit more advanced is www.codeproject.com.
Lots of article from pros normally will full source code.

Well yeah I know. I practice coding on codeblocks, I'm not just reading. It's just that I was asking if there's a go-to book or something after this one.
| If you are new to programming (have never programmed before), consider Programming: Principles and Practice using C++. This is the book Bjarne Stroustrup wrote for a freshman (1st year university students) programming class and it has benefited from three years of classroom use. Otherwise, the go-to book to learn C++ is Stroustrup’s A Tour of C++. Run, don’t walk, to read and recommend this core overview. - What is the best book to learn C++ from? https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/how-to-learn-cpp |
