I recently started a graduate course that originally required C++. My only exposure to C++ basically went through the fundamentals of the C part without getting to any of the ++.
Is there something similar to this for C++? I understand that C++ is a much larger language and I'm definitely not looking for something comprehensive, more of a solid overview of a workable subset of the language. Enough to be productive, produce reasonably modern idiomatic code that can be improved or expanded in the future.
In the end, the graduate course ended up using Python, but I'm still somewhat curious about modern C++.
That’s as bad as saying OOP is the cure for all your problems! Learn all the paradigms and use them where they’re best used, don’t shun any or advise someone against it just because you’ve had a bad experience.
I am frankly getting sick of the notion "use the right tool for your problem", when discussing programming paradigms. No, programming paradigm is not a tool. Programming language is a tool, data structures are tools and algorithms are tools. I don't believe there exists such and such problem, that can only be solved/expressed in OO way and the only true way is to do it in OO way or the best way if you prefer.
In a similar situation, I constructed a crash course using a combination of Accelerated C++, for succinctness & idiomatic C++, and Statistical Computing in C++ and R, for language features relevant to my graduate field.
