Webby Wednesday - C++ Project Ideas

 

Hello,

KeyStroke here.

    For this week's Webby Wednesday, I'd like to dedicate a micro-post highlighting another great, free resource website.

Similar to last week's post, I'd like to share another resource website called Geeksforgeeks. There is an enormous collection of tutorials for various subjects including languages, maths, CS, etc. This information is free. However, there are also courses that you can pay to access that are taught by credible instructors.

    As a current CS student, I'd like to give a little insight to C++. In my experience, you start off with Java, but quickly enter C++ and build upon that language. So, I'd like to recommend this Geeksforgeeks article. It gives an array of C++ project ideas, ranging from beginner to advanced. Each project provides a brief description, as well as the required tools and knowledge. As someone who learns more through practice, I think this is definitely a good starting point for figuring out what projects are realistic for a C++ beginner. However, you are better off finding specific information about  these projects through your own research or through tutorials on the website.

    A big part of programming is seeking out answers to problems. Using search engines to find information is not a disgrace. You are learning, and you can only master something by growing your knowledge. However, I'm going to emphasize, learn what you're searching. Don't just find the answer and move on. Take your time to understand the why behind the solution. If you do not, you will never understand the subject at hand.

Thank you for reading! I hope this resource helps 😀
