Post #201822 Need help with practicing C++ (C++ Beginner)

Hi, I'm new to programming and C++, i know most of the basic syntax and concepts so i was wondering if anyone knows a good way to practice C++. I looked through the Eoserv 0.7.0 source for a bit because i heard looking at source code was a good way to build up knowledge but i wasn't really able to make out too much. It's probably too complex for my knowledge. Maybe if you guys know a smaller project that a beginner could understand relatively easily, you can let me know.

Also, sorry if this is in the wrong section but this seems like the best place at the moment.

https://thenewboston.com/videos.php?cat=16 TheNewBoston helped me a ton. Also try joining StackOverflow and asking questions/looking through the explanations to problems you have and really try to learn from it.

stay tuned.

Thanks, I,ll check out stackoverflow. Luckily I just installed codeblocks before you replied.

Why nobody never mentions anything about mathematics(algorithms) and computer memory for beginners.


What's the point of learning tons of syntaxs and keywords when your program is not effecient from the memory side.

1-Register on http://codeforces.com (let you solve programming problems and task) and solve problems , start with easy problems(A-Level) till you reach D,E levels.

You do not have to understand source codes for solving these problems. All you need is your brain . This is what can not be taught or learnt. Or you could go the dumb way and start reading people's source codes get your self depressed seeing keywords that you do not recognize when the only magic part in the source code is " a simple code used in a right way " that you probably ignored because you have recognized it.

I'm not sure if this is the best route to take but if I could go back and restart I would have learned basic win32 programming. This is old but its got a few tuts there for you to look over http://www.win32developer.com/tutorial/windows/windows_tutorial_1.shtm

@Freezingsoul

Thanks, Codeforce looks like it could be really useful, I've just looked through a couple problemsets and it seems do-able at my level with a little bit of patience.


@insomniac

I'm usually on mac. Do you think it is worth to still practicing win32 programming as a beginner or should I learn the mac equivalent? While I am planning to use my eventually obtained programming skill on eoserv (Which I asume needs knowledge of win32) do you think it would be practical?

2-Know how the memory works

EOSERV is easy to understand and pretty well organized and what not so if you allready understand  basic c++ you should be able to dive right in. If your OP of choice is OS X maybe this will provide some decent info https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~mcs171/Sp14/extras/xCode_Instructions/index.html
