Basically I'm stuck with a sibling out of state for three weeks and I have nothing to do so I thought I'd sharpen my c++ skills. My knowledge of c++ is just a beginner, I've taken one class with c++ going right up to polymorphism, but didn't hit it. What I want to do these next three weeks is increase my c++ skill from beginner to intermediate. If anyone could throw some example tutorials (I learn better by seeing examples and reading a sentence on how something works rather than reading a couple of paragraphs and then see a small example). Also a list of projects to go through, like 1 project that involves everything a beginner would use...and then so on etc.
I know it's a lot to learn in a small amount of time, but that's the way I like to learn, learning one thing a week every week isn't for me. I see programming like math, everything builds on the last, and it's easiest to learn something new while something old is fresh.
Thanks for any type of help.
the easiest thing for you to do would be to attack your weak points. ask yourself, what areas am i weak. then go after them. people cant read your mind at what you know and dont know. claiming beginner is like a football field range of ability. you have to figure out for yourself what you know and dont know and areas you need to work on. tackling weak points has always worked for me. until basically there is no weak points left. also dont just read. play around with the stuff your learning. experiment with what you learn in your own way.
yeah playing around with stuff is the BEST way to learn in my opinion, but what I like to do is mess around with code to learn
I guess the question I really should have asked is are there any websites that give example programming projects to tackle? not so much the answer but like a question such as "create a program that...."
im stupid actually, dumb questions on my part
I'll just skim read tutorials then do a hangman project I had to do for python, that's a good start haha
thanks tho, you both made good points
One thing I've found out there on the web is www.projecteuler.net
It's around 330+ problems that can be solved by programming algorithms. I'm only able to do 7 as I am now but I'm continuing to learn to be able to complete more problems. I recommend you check it out.
