QUESTION
“Can you share any good resources for learning C++ online, in an interactive way? I searched extensively on Google but they all were just boring lectures.”
Answer
Hey Rohan,
I’ll be totally honest: I do not see many C++ courses. At least compared to some other programming languages like JavaScript, Python, or Ruby.
However, I did some research and found these five places where you can learn C++ online.
Disclosure: I’m a proud affiliate for some of the resources mentioned in this article. If you buy a product through my links on this page, I may get a small commission for referring you. Thanks!
