CppCoreGuidelines VS build-your-own-x

You need to talk to Bjarne and Herb...

"C++ Core Guidelines" - https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines

In addition to the other comments -

TypeScript deliberately takes a "good enough" approach to improving JavaScript, instead of designing an ideal but incompatible approach. For example, its handling of [function parameter bivariance](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-compatibil...) is unsound but works much better with the existing JavaScript ecosystem. By contrast, a more academic functional programming language would guarantee a sound type system but would be a huge shift from JavaScript.

By analogy, Herb Sutter is arguing that something like the [C++ Core Guidelines](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines), with tooling help in this new Cpp2 syntax, can bring real improvements to safety. Something like Rust's borrow checker would bring much stricter guarantees, backed by academic research and careful design, but would be incompatible and a huge adjustment.

Take a look at Effective Modern c++ by Scott Meyers and the ISO c++ core guidelines. These resources are great for learning how to write better, more modern C++. I don't think it would be hard to grasp if you're already familiar with the language, just make sure to actually write some code which makes use of this stuff, otherwise it's easy to forget.

Look to the C++ Core Guidelines. It's not perfect, it has some flaws, including some sabotaging advice apparently adopted for political reasons. But at least it has some C++ authorities (Bjarne and Herb) as authors.

All suggestions are welcome,thanks in advance

Make sure that apart from learning you're using the knowledge to create something either your own idea or maybe something from https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x (with your own twist if possible.). It helps a lot to be working on something separately and seeing the results of your new knowledge outside of a tutorial scenario.

28. Build your own X

Do some projects. Come up with your own ideas or pick something from a list like https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x

ello! i'm 20f and humanities student (ir/poli sci) with interest in coding since high school, but just now i have the time to start learning it. i opted for learning pyhton first mostly because i'm interested in automation, data analysis, plus was skimming over the tutorials of build your own x and was surprised that you can do a lot of things with just pyhton.

As for exercises there are plenty of programming task websites out there, most of them are quite boring but you can use a fun one like https://adventofcode.com/ . However the best things to work on are things you actually like so do some small projects. Games (start with command line stuff like hang-man) are common, otherwise pick something from https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x or whatever else ideas come to your mind.
