I got another C++ course completed. This time it was an object-oriented introduction to C++ taught by Saldina Nurak. This one got more into encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance and polymorphism. I think the more I go on this journey, I’ve decided that aside from finding interesting content, I’m looking for good teachers. I think a lot of them are on Free Code Camp so I’m definitely going back to those courses when I need to look at an introduction to another topic.
In the case of C++, I’ve found Mike Dane (he’s actually more than just C++ as he has an intro Python course as well) as well as Saldina. I will probably start to follow her channel CodeBeauty as I try and get into more advanced programming.
The other thing I’ve come to learn as I make my way through these languages is the extensive use of comments. I actually believe for those fledgling programmings out there, your code should be more comments than code. Once you reach pro status (I don’t know when that will be), your code should have minimal comments. But for now, my code will be comment-heavy. For those of you who would like to check out how I’ve structured my comments for this last class, please visit my Git.
I have other teachers that I like for other languages but I’ll post on those folks separately.
Anyway, on to the next one.
