Hello.
I'm a 39 year old man from the northwest of England, self-trained in computer programming. I'm trying to learn C++.
So far, I've read the first 3 chapters of "A Tour of C++". I'm understanding everything, but I regret that there are no exercises for me to do - I have to invent my own. I have watched some CPPCon videos, but a lot of them goes over my head.
I wonder what I should study next. Reading more of "Tour" doesn't feel right.
For the record, this is what I have read so far this year:
