# ⚙️ C++ Tutorials

This repo contains the code for my C++ tutorials on YouTube.

These tutorials are not meant to be consumed in any specific order (even
though each folder will be numbered). This ordering represents "the moment
in time when I found that specific topic interesting". It does NOT represent
"the order in which you should learn that topic".

<!-- This repo contains the code for my C++ tutorials on YouTube. Since C++ is a huge
language, I plan to use [LearnCPP.com](https://www.learncpp.com/) and Bjarne
Stoustrup's [4th edition exercises PDF](https://www.stroustrup.com/4thExercises.pdf)
as a rough guide for my study plan (and videos). But, I don't plan to follow
them to the letter. I will likely deviate from them and go over any topic that I
find interesting.

As such, these C++ tutorials are not meant to be consumed in any specific order
(even though each folder will be numbered). This ordering represents "the moment
in time when I found that specific topic interesting". It does NOT represent
"the order in which you should learn that topic". -->

## Who is this for?

First and foremost, these C++ tutorials are meant for me. I found that I tend
to forget topics that I've previously learned if I don't use them on a day-to-day
basis. For example, there is a high probability that I'll forget many of the `lldb`
commands (I explained in my video) in 2-3 months. These tutorials act as a reference
for my future self in case I need a quick guide to help me get back up to speed.

Aside from me, the type of person who will find these tutorials most useful is
someone who who has completed 2+ years of undergraduate study in computer science.
You won't see me make a tutorial like "How to write a for-loop in C++" because
I don't find that interesting. (Unless of course, there are some very obscure or
interesting ways to do that in C++, which sounds fun to learn and explain.)

## Why am I learning C++?

I started my career in TypeScript as a full-stack web developer. Got bored a few
years ago and transitioned to working in computer graphics. C++ is the "lingua
franca" of graphics programming.

Additionally, as an engineer, it's always good to be familiar with a statically
typed, compiled langauge -- especially, if you've spent your entire career in the
JavaScript (or Python) ecosystem. I'd definitely recommend learning a language
like C++, Java, or Go.

I've also discussed my reasoning for why I'm switching from TypeScript to C++
for graphics programming in this [YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbN_Arh8_ec).

## Why not Rust?

One of the most common questions I got when explaining my reasons for switching
from TypeScript to C++ for graphics programming was -- "Why not Rust"?

I strongly believe C/C++ is the best language for graphics programming (and many
other subfields of computer science that I find interesting). I do not believe
this is going to change anytime in the next 5-7 years. I'm always happy to update
my priors, but for the time being, this is my definitive stance on the matter.
