To learn C++ Book or Video course ?

[Utshiha]

Hi good evening...
Many people around me asking, which one is best for learning c++ ( books or videos courses).
I would like to hear your suggestions.

or read the primer books by Bjarne Stroustrup:

C++ contains a lot of features which can be considered deprecated or only for compatibility with old code base(pure C or before modern c++)

such as:

"enum class" vs. "enum",
"std::variant" vs. "union",

IMHO, 3 of the most important concepts(philosophy) of C++:
type-safe(through compile-time check)
exception-safe (through RAII and unwinding)
compile-time optimization(through template metaprogramming, constexpr/consteval, static reflection)

In my opinion reading

and trying to truely understand the concepts explained in this book is all that is necessary. I can agree with WhoCares tho, the Bjarne Stroustrup book is awesome aswell.

In today’s era of rapid advances in AI, there may be a more suitable way to learn: interacting with AI as you study. First, you take a learning outline from a book—such as C++ Primer. Then you can follow that outline and ask the AI questions about each topic, from syntax and semantics to detailed code examples. You can also ask the AI to expand on related ideas until a particular concept is thoroughly explained.

Perhaps AI is the most patient and versatile teacher. If you’re worried about hallucinations, you can always compare what it says with the textbook，and verify it with the compiler and debugger.

We can call it vibe learning.
